Not Tetris Looks Like Tetris But is Not Tetris
Posted by James Newton
Got it?
With its 90-degree turns and grid-based gameplay, Tetris takes a few liberties with the laws of physics (not to mention why these blocks are dropping and disappear once adjoined.) But what if its physics were a little more fluid; a little more unforgiving? That's what Not Tetris is all about.
A free PC download, Not Tetris is all about smooth movements and watching as your blocks hopelessly stack up as it's impossible to clear lines. What's the point of this, you might ask? Who knows, but it perfectly replicates the chaos of fitting pieces into place without ever getting the satisfaction of seeing them disappear. Check out the video below and download Not Tetris to satisfy the masochist in you.

This reminds me of pirated versions of video games that are worse than the original version, only this looks pretty good. Its purpose is to be impossible, which is hilarious.

So, Tetris with physics? Imagine someone actually clearing a level, let alone a line.

That looks like the weirdest thing ever. Too bad the link is broken. I'd like to see how insane I'd get if Tetris had physics...

Yay, the link is working again!
Just played a round, and it's the weirdest thing I ever played.
Seriously, when they say it's not Tetris, they ain't joking.
