Meanwhile, my wife got me an "official" Tetris handheld game for Christmas and not only does it only have 15 levels, but the music repeats once and then stops until you restart the game.
You know what I would love? A basic, no-frills Tetris game for my phone. I don't know why that is too much to ask for.
I don't know what phone you have but an nes emulator app and a Tetris ROM is totally a thing that's not too complex
iPhone, unfortunately. Stupid walled garden.
you can get the Delta emulator using the Alt Store on iOS
I appreciate the advice and I'll definitely look into it, but I really shouldn't have to look into it or run an emulator. If the company that owns Teris (who now sue anyone trying to put out a similar game) just put out a simple version of Tetris with an ad banner at the bottom, they would make serious bank from all of us older people who grew up playing it constantly. They would probably even make a decent amount of money if they charged for it up front.
There is an official Tetris phone game. It's shit. There's no normal Tetris mode on it. I really don't understand.
