Netris — Original Denny Games illustration of falling block shapes

How to play

  1. Place falling shapes to complete horizontal rows and keep the stack below the top of the board.
  2. The source version has no score display or automatic speed increase; the included autopilot can play for you.
  3. Use the external host's game menu for detailed rules and any restart or save options.

Make your move

  • Keyboard: Left/Right or J/L move, Up or K rotates, Down or Space soft-drops, P hard-drops, S pauses, R restarts and A toggles autopilot.
  • Check the host's Help or Controls guide for every key and touch action.
  • Denny Games has not verified a complete external game session or device compatibility.

A small head start

  • Use the autopilot to inspect how this older version places pieces without a score or automatic speed ramp.
  • Read the host's controls and rules before starting a longer run.
