About TenTrix

TenTrix is a block puzzle played on a square grid that is ten cells wide and ten cells tall. Blocks come down in different shapes, and you arrange them on the grid to complete lines and earn points.

The twist is that the shapes cannot be rotated. In many block games you can turn a piece until it fits, but here you have to take each shape as it comes and find the place where it works. That changes how you think about the grid.

The game is built for portrait screens and plays on both PC and mobile. A small grid with fixed shapes leaves plenty of room for different approaches, so no two sessions need to go the same way.

How to play TenTrix

  1. Watch the block that comes down and note its shape.
  2. Place it on the 10 by 10 grid. Remember that shapes cannot be rotated.
  3. Fill a line to clear it and score points.
  4. Keep placing blocks, working out where each new shape will fit best.
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts for the controls.

Tips and tricks

  • Look at the free space on the grid before placing, and try to keep it in one tidy area.
  • Since shapes stay as they are, picture where a piece fits before you commit to a spot.
  • Try not to leave small gaps that few shapes could fill.
  • Think about the next line you want to complete, not only the current one.
