Overview
Description

Blockout brings the addictive gameplay of Tetris into three dimensions, letting players manipulate polycubes that descend into a 3‑D pit viewed from above. Rotate pieces on any axis, shift them horizontally and vertically, and aim to fill complete layers that disappear for points. Originally released in 1989, the game offers both single‑player challenges and competitive multiplayer modes, preserving its retro charm on modern PC and Mac systems. Its simple yet deep mechanics make it a timeless puzzle experience for both newcomers and seasoned arcade fans.

Not Tetris 2 reimagines the iconic block‑dropping formula with full 360‑degree piece rotation and a real‑time physics engine, adding a fresh layer of strategy to the familiar puzzle experience. Play solo or challenge friends on PC, Mac, or Linux, and enjoy an indie‑crafted twist on a timeless genre.
