Free tetris-like game with 3D look-n-feel and first person look from above, only without time pressure of classic Tetris, and thus drastically changed tactics and strategy. Tetrocrate is a cross between Tetris, BlockOut and Tile Sliding Puzzle.

Your are free to move tetris blocks, or tetrominoes, anywhere across square game board: simple slide and snap the colorful pieces into empty place. Same shapes and similar objective, as in Tetris: complete either horizontal or vertical brick lines, so full lines can disappear.

Get significantly more bonus points for clearing multiple lines at once. Challenge yourself - try to blast away 5 lines at the same time.

There is a catch: unlike original Tetris and similar brick games, you cannot rotate pieces. This limitation imposed for a reason: to make game play natural, drag-n-drop style and as effortless as possible, sticking to KISS principle: "Keep It Simple and Stupid"

However, to make life easier, it is possible to swap the current piece with the next one by clicking on 'Next' piece preview in the top-right corner of the screen. Many old PC and Console games, including classic Tetris, Brick games, Arkanoid, are not really suitable for android mobile handsets and touch screens, missing tactile feedback and robustness of real physical keyboard.

TetroCrate offers totally different gameplay and touch screen oriented approach to in-game user interface.

No virtual on-screen buttons, and no awkward unreliable gestures required to play - simple as that. Coincidently, it allows playing the game even with a single hand.
