This really shouldn't be called Tetris HD, rather Grand Canyon Tetris, or maybe Time-wasting Tetris. Tetris HD (or Tetoris) is quite simply a huge resolution, widescreen version of the game we know and love and we warn you now, trying to get even just one line is a mission in itself.

We advise having a look at it, thinking that's a really bad idea and then giving its opposite Alleytris a go instead. Even trying to die in that big open space is pretty impossible. Screenshots below if you manage it!

Yeah, um, so I sat a roll of coins on my spacebar for 42 minutes, just to see what would happen. This is what happened:

Should have used the enter key, 5 times faster. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6421/dfhdh.png

I did it without cheating.

Took me 6:50, try to beat that ;-P

i tried getting a tetris...After 15 minutes, i had about half the row done with 4 high and no spaces. Then when i was being a little less careful i accidentally dropped one down and got a hole below the 4 line...i walked away in shame.

Haha! This made me laugh. I made 1 line, it took me 15 minutes and I got a whole 20 points for it.

Woo! Alleytris gets a mention!

It's been updated several times since that screenshot. Please, if you're still playing that old version delete it and download a new version. You will be much happier.

You mean it's actually possible to score in a game like this?

Hilarious. Good stuff.

Quiest, my record for deaths is 5:57. My score record is 80.

54:48 for a tetris. I have never dropped that many blocks for 160 points.
