TetWiis is a Nintendo Wii Tetris clone, based on the Nintendo DS version of Tetris.

User guide

Gameplay

The more lines you get, the higher the score rewarded, but the faster the game gets.

More score can be gained by going for double triple or quad clearances, and you are rewarded highly if you successfully attempt the back to back quad clearance.

This is the classic "marathon" mode of Tetris - play till you drop or run out of luck.

For every 10 lines you clear the level increases, along with the scores rewarded and the speed of the drop.

Controller

Use the Wiimote pointer in the menus to select the options and start the game. Point at the menu items with the Wiimote and press A to select the options.

The options screen allows you to turn up/down the volume of the background music and the sound effects.

Once the game starts you'll need to use your Wiimote in the horizontal position, e.g.

The game will count down from 3 flashing an image of a horizontal Wiimote as a reminder and will start after the count. This gives you time to rotate the Wiimote before the blocks start dropping.
