Bop it! Tetris

Place shapes quickly

Yet another new member for the Bop It! family of games, this times the main feature is again light, but accompanied by shapes. A display shows a pattern of blue squares, called Tetrimino, which must be placed into the Matrix at the left side of the gadget. You have three different actions that you can employ for this - turn the Tetrimino around, slide it or push it into the Matrix. Level 1 is called Flash, you only need to slide and push; in level 2, called Tetris Blast, you must first use a red Mino (which is a single square in the Tetrimino) to bomb away a blue Mono in the Matrix to make room for the Tetrimino. In Level 3, Double-Flash, you must first place the green Mino, then the blue ones, and in Level for puzzles from Levels 1 to 3 are mixed. You can play on your own or play against others and hand the gadget on when prompted to do so by the gadget. Each puzzle you solve scores one point; for each puzzle you do not solve you use one of four lives in the solo variant or are ousted from the game in a multi-player game. After 32 solved puzzles comes a bonus round and then the next level. A bonus round features so-called Tetrimino bombs; when you push the Tetrimino into the Matrix you score points for each blue Mino that you destruct with a red one - you cannot lose in such a bonus round. In both variants challenge rounds are unlocked in which you can jump directly to one of 100 puzzles but you have only one life in those challenge rounds.

In this latest version, Bop it! again offers quick and challenging fun, in this edition in the guise of marvelous training for spatial thinking and translating shapes into action using the light.
