Tetris Big Block Mode offers a fresh experience for the classic Tetris game by adding a unique mechanic that forces players to switch between two phases: the building phase and the main gameplay phase. The distinctive feature is that the main screen and the preparation screen constantly alternate every 10 seconds, creating a fast-paced and challenging rhythm.
Players arrange tetromino blocks that will later fall into the main screen. In this phase, you have 10 seconds to complete arranging the blocks using the arrow keys on the right side of the screen. The build order will be clearly displayed, helping you prepare for the next phase. This gameplay is entirely different from Block Blast as you must constantly switch between building and playing, creating tension and requiring better time management.
If you cannot complete arranging the blocks within the time limit, the unfinished pieces will fall randomly into the main playfield, causing difficulty and increasing the level of challenge.
After the building phase, the tetromino blocks you have prepared will drop onto the main screen, called The Big Block, which has a size of 10x17 cells. At this point, players need to quickly place the blocks in the right positions to clear lines and avoid stacking up.
In addition, players have 3 reserve blocks on the left side of the screen. You can use these blocks at any time during the game to assist in arranging or getting through difficult situations.
Every 10 seconds, the game switches between the building phase and the main gameplay phase. The progress bar at the top of the screen helps you track the remaining time before moving to the next phase, adding pressure and requiring quick reflexes.
The game uses different background music for each phase, helping players recognize the moment of transition between building and playing, while also enhancing the sense of intensity.
Arranging the tetromino blocks during the building phase is crucial because if not done correctly, the randomly falling blocks can create chaos and make the placement in the main gameplay phase much more difficult. This requires strong strategic thinking.
The constant switching between the two phases demands good time management and the ability to handle unexpected situations. Every 10 seconds, you must make quick decisions, creating a sense of tension throughout the game.
The progress bar on the interface and the background music help players stay aware of the phase changes, adding psychological pressure and requiring players to adjust their strategy in time to avoid being overwhelmed.
