TETRIS is awesome, so I made this as a tribute to the beloved game.
Made in less than a month from scratch for OneGameAMonth.com.
Thank you very much for playing, reviewing, and voting the game up! Be sure to follow me if you want to play more games like this (I encourage this type of stalking!).
And thank you for the front page, Newgrounds and Tom!

Due to popular demand, slippery placement (sliding) was added, and left/right controls may be held down to move the piece automatically. Also, a scoreboard bug was fixed and so was a sound bug. Keep the reviews coming - I will listen and reply!

May be extremely challenging to new players. But with time, you'll be a pro. Don't get discouraged; you're amazing! See below for information on how to play :)

The concept is somewhat hard to explain until you actually begin playing. The goal of this game isn't to fill rows like in the original game, but to create squares of blocks (starting from 4x4 in size). The more blocks you manipulate, the more points you get! Don't forget to beat your friends and foes in the leaderboards and collect all of the precious medals (haha!).
There are three modes. Complete the first mode to unlock the second, and so on. Beating each mode results in a fun particle explosion and NEW STUFF!
Move the pieces to the side of the world to flip the world around, hence the name FLIPTRIS. Survive as long as you can!
The controls are shown during the game (kind of a bad placement, I agree, haha).
Press M to toggle mute.
See the credits menu if you want to download the music.
TIP: Use the Q and E (or Z and X) keys to jump the the left so you don't waste time moving the piece when flipping ;)
