Play a mini game with me

How to play?

This is (almost) classic tetris game with multiple levels. To finish levels you need to gain some score points and clean out existing level boxes.

This tetris will never increase its speed, because I hate it when it happens, so you can relax and just make them fall.

Controls:

You can use keyboard: WASD

You can use mouse: left-click below figures to move them, click on figures and above them to make them fall. Useright-click to rotate figures

You can use touch interface on mobiles: touch below figures to move themtouch on figures to rotatedouble-touch below figures to make them fall.

Level Score:

You didn't finish it, but at least you've got: score. So, now you can afford cookies, hopefully.

But why?

While I'm not a professional game developer indeed, I have a small tradition.

Every decade or so I create a tetris game using some new modern technologies available at the time, mostly just to compare experience and have fun:

Early 199x - it was a game written using Z80 assembly.
Middle 199x - it was a game written using Watcom C/C++ and DOS4GW.
Early 200x - it was a Java applet in a browser.
Middle 201x - .NET Compact Framework and C# for Windows Mobile.
And now for 202x, this is written using Rust/wasm, WebGL/GLSL shaders, and Scala 3 and Scala.js.
