Ah retro gaming. Tetris, Pong; the list goes on and on. Tris is, you guessed it, a clone of classic Tetris for the iPhone. Clone sounds as if there has been nothing done to it, but in this case, there has. When reviewing a game for the iPhone, one bases a lot upon graphics, difficulty of level/area, and overall quality. However, on the iPhone, user input/playing controls is what is focused upon most heavily.
Tris has such a simple, yet innovate approach to playing controls that it’s ridiculous (in a good way!).

One simply taps anywhere in the area where the shapes are falling to change to orientation of the shape. Better yet, one can even ‘pull’ the shape down as fast as one wants to by dragging anywhere on the screen. At the same time, the game keeps track of where the shape would be had it not been pulled down, and allows the user the ability to ‘push’ the shape back to that location (as that location changes with the speed of the level).

The graphics and game play are very smooth. There are 0 bugs that I have encountered throughout my extensive game play. Bottom line: This game is fun, and was built not with having all new bells and whistles in mind, but giving the end user a positive experience of an old game, with a new way to play it. A+

Tris is available from the BigBoss Source.
