Wow, that sucks.  It looks like it's been losing popularity for awhile now.  I bet Hangame Poland would get a decent user base, though.

Koreans, in my Nullpo?

Alternatively, I'm sad to see another "fast" Tetris clone bite the dust. TOP2 pls deliver us from this evil.

What's Tetris Star?

That's bad news. It will shut down December 19th. So the recent changes didn't pay off.  

I heart Blitz speaking about a Japanese version. Is there a version available for us?

There is game Tetris Star, developed by Tetris Online Japan (RIP), but it is not related to Hangame Tetris (soon RIP) in any way. But it is kinda related to facebook game Tetris Stars (RIP) game by Tetris Company themselfs (hopefully RIP one day...). So unless he mean something else I don't know about, then no.

Just want to point out that this could be a good thing. Sometimes they shut down games because they want to release a new one.

Hangame has died today. My condolences to all Hangame players. Let's have a moment of silence.
