Tetris Friends

Tetris Friends was an online puzzle game developed and published by Tetris Online, Inc. This game had over a million registered users and features various content.

Why It Was Friendly

 * 1) This game was by far the only official Flash implementation of Tetris made by the same company itself. This game was the go-to game for an online game of Tetris on your computer.
 * 2) Plenty of modes regardless if it were single-player or multiplayer. The modes consist of your typical Marathon mode. You also get other modes like Sprint (clear forty lines as much as possible), Ultra (score as many points as possible in two minutes), Survival (Clear ten lines per level), Tetris 1989 (it replicates the classic Game Boy version of Tetris), N-Blox (does not use many new features like hold or the four-block preview but you score as many points as possible), and BlockStar (an endless game to achieve a high score).
 * 3) *You also got multiplayer modes as well which are Battle 2P, Battle 6P, Sprint 5P, Arena, and Rally 8P.
 * 4) *Exclusive to the Facebook users, you get to play Tetris BlockStar which is a remake of the first Tetris game released on Facebook.
 * 5) *With all that said, you got a lot to play with back then.
 * 6) It's was free to play so that says something about an online game on the computer.
 * 7) For online game standards on the computer, the graphics and the designs look lively with colorful backgrounds and well-done assets used for the game. Even the website looks well designed. This could be considered eye candy due to its color palette
 * 8) The gameplay here still keeps the traditional Tetris gameplay that everyone would know about. You know, this is Tetris we are talking about so why not?
 * 9) As the title suggests this game gives you the ability to connect with your friends for a game of Tetris. It's easy to bring fun and challenge your friends as well as share your love of Tetris with your buddies.
 * 10) Matchmacking is friendly in terms of making them. For newcomers who are new to Tetris don't need to worry about facing the pros of Tetris. Tetris Friends analyzes your Tetris skill as you play, then pairs you up with other players at the same skill level as you. That right there can help you get better at Tetris because you can practice at your own speed and comfort level. The better you are, the harder your matches will be.
 * 11) All you needed to do to play this game to jump into a round of Tetris is that you can sign up for an account. You can either create a new account or instantly link your Facebook profile. What that done, you can customize your profile with an avatar character of your choice!
 * 12) There is a shop where you can buy some things like customizable blocks, expressions, SFX styles, Win-Tones, voice styles, just to name a few. You can buy certain items with either tokens or premium rubies.
 * 13) Lots of achievements with some being premium. Those who love to get your achievements in games would have gotten a treat due to the amounts of missions to get.
 * 14) If you have Facebook, you have the ability to compare scores, compete with Facebook friends, and share high scores.
 * 15) All game modes except Tetris 1989 and N-Blox uses the SRS rotational system, have a hold function, and a quad-Tetrimino preview.
 * 16) Has a variety of backgrounds the game has in store for you. These backgrounds come in a variety of themes and they do look cool.
 * 17) Listen to the soundtrack for that game. You know, once you get to listen to it, you noticed how the music ranges from either nostalgic, calming, or upbeat. Some just make you want to dance or download it with an MP3.
 * 18) Believe it or not, there were actually promos in regards to Burger King, Coca-Cola, and even Blue Sky's Ice Age of all things being implemented in Tetris Friends.
 * 19) Spawned another game that was based on Tetris Friends called Tetris Battle which has more focus on one-on-one multiplayer gameplay.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Ads often play before a match. The only way to stop ads is by paying 50 rubies for no ads.
 * 2) The coin system and some modes do not exist on the Facebook version.
 * 3) As of May 30, 2019, Tetris Online, Inc ceased all operations thus leading Tetris Friends to shut down on that date.
