Hi you are watching VisiHow and today we are going to show you how to get the Tetris game downloaded and installed on your phone and how to start playing. For those of you unfamiliar with Tetris, it's a very old classic game that was created by a Russian programmer, and then was actually stolen by an American company which later lost the results of a lawsuit, and released the rights back to the guy, who then, licensed it back to them. So to get started, what we need to do is tap on the Google Play store icon.

.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
25
And you don't have to play around as much as you otherwise would with some of the more complex settings

.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
30
It's going to show you how it's going down
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
31
There's another block dropped, very simple game
.
However, it can be fairly addictive.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
