Tetris Game (821k) - Download Here

Here is a tetris clone created with Irrlicht and Dusty Engine. There are neat effects for the blocks, such as rotating and fading in/out. The purpose of the game is to stack up blocks and fill in a complete row of blocks, which will then be removed. If you run out of room to add new blocks, you lose the game. This is one of my favorite games on here, check it out!
