Tetris Blitz is a game from EA. It was named "Blitz" because the game has a countdown, like the Ultra mode of other games.

Gameplay

Stack tetriminos and clear lines before the time runs out. Use power-ups to help you clear lines. Place tetriminos by a single touch. After the time runs out, "Last Hurrah" will occur and all minos will collapse for making final line clears. After the game ends, you can brag the score on Facebook.

Powerups

  • Magnet: Draws all pieces to the left of the playing area,
  • Quake: Shakes apart stuck tetriminos.
  • Lasers: 3 laser beams clear random lines.
  • Time Shift: Adds 5 seconds to the timer.
  • Avalanche: Releases three minos at the top of each column.
  • Multiplier: Increases the multiplier by 1.
  • Meteor Storm: Powerful minos fall eliminating any gaps beneath them.
  • Bombs: A very powerful power-up that explodes entire columns.
  • Super 7: The next 7 tetriminos are optimised for clearing lines.
  • Three Strikes: The next 3 tetriminos are I-pieces.
  • Tunnel Vision: The left-most column and the right-most column are filled with minos.
  • Mega crusher: Heavy minos fall to fill gaps
  • Amplifier: Score boost when cleared.
  • Bulldozer: Removes the top two horizontal lines with minos in, and replaces them with three full rows of minos, which then cascades.
  • Groundswell: Sets up the bottom of the matrix for an instant Tetris clear (requires you to have an I-piece held).
  • Nuke: The most powerful powerup in the game. It shatters the entire matrix into minos, but does use up a few seconds from the timer to activate (depending on the size of the matrix).
  • Blitz'n: Similar to Avalanche, but has a Christmas theme, and drops either three or four minos at the top of each column.
  • Wildcard: Becomes a randomly selected power-up when activated
  • Frostbite: A block of ice forms at the base of the matrix which then cracks and dissolves to give an instant Tetris clear.
  • Insta-Frenzy:Activates frenzy when you need it.

Finishers

  • Inversion: Converts empty space to minos and vice versa. This can be won from the roulette wheel.
  • Mino Rain: A huge shower of minos fall. This can be won from the roulette wheel.
  • Instant Replay: Replays the most successful scoring moment that happened during the game. This can be won from the roulette wheel.
  • Dunkin' Donuts: Coffee pours onto the matrix clearing any remaining pieces before a shower of minos fall. (no longer available)
  • Gifting Tree: Powerups appear (If any) on a Mino made Christmas Tree, and Cascades while an infinite frenzy activates, Powerups Activate along the way to increase the score. This finisher can only be purchased with coins. It cannot be won from the roulette wheel.
  • Popcorn: A bank of minos start rising and expanding from the base of the matrix. This bank then clears to give you a score boost
  • Birthday Cake: Similary to Gifting Tree, It has a Birthday Cake-like "drawing" made out of minos (It seems to be vanilla) This one requires at least 1 power-up that adds more blocks to activate frenzy. This one has the number 33 on it, because Tetris is 33 years old.
  • Starfall: Causes the field to get showered with a special setup resembling a meteor shower that has Power-Ups (If you used Power-Ups). It can activate frenzy mode if it clears at least 7 Lines.
