The Last Line

This is a Tetris implementation for modern devices. Most of the gameplay rules are based on the NES Tetris.

The game is written in Java using libGDX.

Packages are available for Windows, Linux, Macos and Android devices here: Releases.

During the Christmas holidays of 2023 a boy named Blue Scutti beat the NES Tetris, after many years, this event awakened my interest in Tetris again. So I decided to write my own version as a relaxing holiday activity.

After a couple of weeks, this is the result. I hope you enjoy it.
