About GBAtris

GBAtris is a classic-style tetris game for the Nintendo GameBoy Advance.

I always liked the original GameBoy tetris, and not any of the "improved" versions that where released for the GBA and the Nintendo DS. So I made gbatris to be as close as possible to the original GameBoy tetris.

The release archive includes both a pre-compiled GameBoy Advance binary, and full source code. For more up-to-date versions make sure to check the main project website: http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/sw/gbatris/ and the github repo: https://github.com/jtsiomb/gbatris

Controls

  • D-pad left/right moves the block horizontally.
  • D-pad down makes the block fall faster.
  • B button, or D-pad up drops the block immediately.
  • A button rotates the block.
  • START pauses the game.
  • SELECT starts a new game.
  • pressing either trigger button toggles music on/off.
