You might be surprised to learn that in Tetris, every single falling block, or “Tetromino,” rotates in exactly the same way.
This consistent rotation pattern applies to I-pieces, J-pieces, L-pieces, O-pieces, S-pieces, T-pieces, and Z-pieces.
This unique design choice might seem simple, but it plays a crucial role in the game’s addictive gameplay.
The consistent rotation system allows players to focus on spatial reasoning and strategic planning, rather than struggling to remember different rotation patterns for each piece. This consistent mechanic contributes to the clarity and challenge that make Tetris a timeless classic.
