Tetris Forever

Tetris Forever is the third part of a series of interactive documentaries from 2023, describing the history of video games. This project was created by Digital Eclipse studio. It takes on the Tetris brand and was released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the creation of the first logic game under this brand.

Gameplay

Tetris Forever consists of two main elements. The first one is a compilation of over 15 installments from the series, starting with the first Tetris from 1984 (created by Alexey Pajitnov and released for Elektronika 60 computers), through the multiplayer-focused Tetris Battle Gaiden, ending with the "explosive" Super Bombliss. The novelty is Tetris Time Warp, a special game that allows us to jump in real time between different eras of Tetris.

Each game introduces some nuances, but the core of the gameplay in them is the same - arranging blocks of various shapes falling from the top of the screen. We need to do this in such a way that they fill the horizontal line, causing it to disappear. The more lines we manage to "erase" in this way, the better result we will achieve. On the other hand, we cannot allow the blocks we arrange to reach the top edge of the game field, because then the game ends with our loss.

The second component of Tetris Forever is over an hour of documentary films presenting the profiles of Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers - the founder of The Tetris Company. Video materials allow us to get to know these characters better and take a look behind the scenes of their works.

Game modes

In Tetris Forever we can play alone or in local multiplayer mode for up to 4 people.
