Tetris Mini is a keychain Tetris game. It is a spiritual successor to Tetris Jr.. It features new modes, and a rechargeable battery.
Gameplay
The device has only one rotation button, thus the piece can only be rotated clockwise. This is unlike most other games with one rotation direction, which rotate counter-clockwise.
There is no soft drop, only hard drop. The hard drop is usually not instant, and the piece is animated moving down until it lands and locks. However, if a sound is playing (or would be if the game is muted) the piece will not animate, and instead instantly drop. In both cases the action can not be canceled, and it acts as a hard drop. This is in contrast to Tetris Jr. which only has soft drop.
The rotation system was revamped since Tetris Jr. It features new kicks, base rotations, and spawn columns.
