Pentix Classic - Retro Remake App Reviews

LOVE IT!

I researched a bunch of Tetris games and this one most resembles the original.

Horrible

Too random and strange pieces. I hate it!

Pretty good

I thought it was my "technique " re turning tiles - unreliable - which is ESP a pain when working on a high score. Other than that - fun !

Okay

Closest to the original but controls are clunky, even when I keep the screen super clean. Like other reviewers, I also experience inconsistent rotation and pieces dropping unexpectedly. And I really dont like several of the new pieces. Tetris worked because the blocks could actually be fit together. I can get out my Mac SE, still works, with the original game if I start jonesing too bad, I suppose.

Great Fun!

Loads of fun and no problems running on iPhone 5s!

Looking for Tetris

Yuk, not at all like Tetris, waste of time and money! Beware!

Ok

Shapes are a little different that why it is harder to play I find it challenging ....

Excellent

Very good app

Fun game

This game gets five stars.

Frustrating at times

When I say frustrating, I dont mean because its hard, I because sometime I have a puzzle piece right in place, and then something glitches. like another piece will suddenly disappear, or that piece that I had just placed will move to another place..somehow. the game wouldve been good if that hadnt been a problem for me :(

Wish I had instructions

Really enjoy the game, minor glitches as others mentioned. But would like to see how scoring works and definition of the games.

Music!

I loveee this app. Only giving 4 starts because I wish it would let me play my Music app while playing the game

This TETRIS game is a good time-waster!

I have had a lot of fun with this game. I rated it four stars because I have difficulty with 2 of the 3 game modes. Im older and my fingers shake sometimes. So I can only play one mode in order to keep from feeling like a failure. Im stating a fact about my skill level, and not about bugs in the game design... It was simply not designed for older people who might have some physical limitations. A possible cure for the need to be met, might be another mode for those seniors who love tetris type games but just need some twist not particularly designed for the young and spry! You design techies out there just give this opinion some consideration, out of respect for your elders... Please.???

Flawed

Would love to say I enjoy this game. The pieces do not consistently flip, causing huge backups on the board - hence the game ending. Have wondered why I play if I have no control..

Not a fan

Too many flaws; blocks are too unresponsive.

The Game

ADDICTIVE! BUT I do not like the strange pieces that appear at the top when Im trying to win. I dont mind the fact that it speeds up, just dont like the STRANGE shapes that appear to force me to lose.

Cheats!

The game actually stops responding or moves a piece on its own over to the side so you have to end a marathon before you really would have. Not cool. Who makes a game that cheats?

Fun game, with some problems

Fun game, nice twist to an old game; but at higher levels, sometimes the rotate function would quit working for a pentonimo or two, completely screwing up the game...frustrating. Fix that, and this will be a great time-waster.

Worth it

Actually challenging. I love it

Player

Rotate by tapping game piece or button does not work when the pieces have filled half of the board. I using an iPad mini. I noticed another user had the same problem. The game could be a lot of fun if that were fixed. Last update was 2012 so I assume a fix is not in the future.
