Tetris Attack is a puzzle game released in 1996 for the Game Boy. The primary objective is to clear blocks from the screen by matching three or more of the same color in a horizontal or vertical line. Players swap adjacent blocks to create these matches, causing the blocks to disappear and preventing the stack from reaching the top of the screen.
The game features a steadily increasing pace, adding pressure as new rows of blocks continuously rise from the bottom. A unique mechanic in Tetris Attack is the use of block swapping rather than traditional falling block placement, which requires quick thinking and strategic positioning. Unlike many puzzle games, it emphasizes fast reflexes combined with pattern recognition.
A distinctive aspect of Tetris Attack is its competitive multiplayer mode, where clearing blocks sends garbage blocks to the opponent’s screen, intensifying the challenge. This dynamic interaction adds depth and excitement to the gameplay, making it more than just a solitary puzzle experience.
