Acid Tetris is a clone of the original Tetris game that was released in 1998 for DOS and BeOS platforms. The game offers only one game mode, where you guide unlimited falling bricks to form complete rows until you hit the top of the screen. As you progress, the speed of the bricks increases, making it more challenging to complete rows.
You probably already know the gameplay of Tetris. You have to rotate colorful pieces so that they occupy the available space. Once you fill one line, the line is removed. Upon removing a line, a yellow smiley appears with a different expression and sound depending on the number of rows you removed with a single brick. The game also features both up-tempo and relaxing music, including a remake of the classic Tetris song, which adds to the overall enjoyable gameplay experience.
Although Acid Tetris is a clone of the original Tetris game, it's a visually appealing and sound-rich variant. The game doesn't offer many new features and is similar to other clones. However, if you are looking for a simple game that offers a pleasant aesthetic experience, Acid Tetris is a good choice.
Acid has only one game mode, and there is no multiplayer mode, which could have added to the game's replayability and longevity. Additionally, no power-ups, bonuses, or other features would differentiate this game from other clones. Anyway, if you are a fan of the original Tetris game and want to try out different variations of it, Acid Tetris is worth checking out.
The game was re-released as Super ACiD Block Attack in 2002, probably due to legal concerns from using the "Tetris" name.
