Tetrisweeper

Challenge your brain and reflexes in Tetrisweeper, the ultimate puzzle fusion where every falling block could hide dangerous mines waiting below.

About Tetrisweeper

Tetrisweeper is a creative hybrid puzzle game that combines the fast-paced stacking mechanics of Tetris with the logical deduction gameplay of Minesweeper. Instead of simply arranging falling tetromino blocks into complete rows, players must also identify hidden mines concealed within the blocks themselves.

The game blends quick reflexes with strategic thinking, creating a unique puzzle experience that constantly challenges both speed and logic.

Core Gameplay

The gameplay begins with tetromino pieces falling from the top of the screen, similar to classic Tetris. Each tetromino consists of four tiles, but every tile also functions like a Minesweeper square that may secretly contain a mine.

Your main objectives are to:

• Stack tetrominos efficiently
• Complete horizontal rows
• Detect and flag hidden mines
• Avoid accidental detonations
• Prevent the board from reaching the top

Once a tetromino locks into place, numerical clues appear on the tiles. These numbers indicate how many adjacent squares contain mines, helping you identify dangerous positions over time.

To survive longer, you must carefully balance two priorities:

• Maintaining clean and efficient block placement
• Solving hidden mine patterns accurately

Rows only clear after all mines are properly handled. Accidentally revealing a mine immediately ends the game, making precision just as important as speed.

Special Clearing and Scoring Techniques

Tetrisweeper rewards advanced strategies with several special line-clearing mechanics that increase both score potential and gameplay depth.

Standard Clears

• Line Filled — Complete a single row with tiles
• Tetris — Clear four rows simultaneously
• Line Cleared — Successfully solve and remove a completed row

Advanced Techniques

• T-Spin — Rotate a T tetromino into a tight opening for bonus clears
• Linesweep — Clear a newly completed line before the next block locks into place
• Tetrisweep — Clear all four lines of a Tetris immediately after placement
• T-Spinsweep — Combine a T-Spin with simultaneous line clearing
• Perfect Clear — Remove every tile from the entire board

These mechanics create a surprisingly high skill ceiling, rewarding players who can combine logical deduction with efficient stacking strategies.
