Picture 6We mentioned Papped’s BBTetris game last week and quite a few of you were excited to get your hands on it. It was designed for the Bold, but Papped has extended support to the 83XX & 8900 devices’ higher and lower resolution screens. The game also plays on other devices, but the backgrounds may be cut up.

The new version 1.52 brings quite a few new features to the free game:

  • Equalized music volume for the 3 songs
  • Sound off/on wasn’t always properly playing a song
  • Sound effect on line clear
  • Added grid to play area
  • Fixed the music randomization issue
  • Last Score displays during the game
  • Randomizes between 3 tetris songs
  • Game pauses and shows score when game ends (only last score for now)
  • Game should pause when you minimize/get a call/etc.

Nice work, Papped, on giving the users what they want! Keep up the good work.

    bbtetris looks great on my 83XX. but now i have to click to rotate? using “q” to rotate was far superior.

      been playing for a little bit and i guess clicking the trackball isnt sooo bad. but it would be a great option to use either “q” (how about “p”) and tracball click for rotating.

    I really like this game, and already downloaded 1.7. You made it fall after trying 4 times, a little bit exaggerated, I admit it was going even unintended before, but now it is too hard to make it fall.

    Also, the falling sound is too simple, I remember a crashing/shooting sound that repeated as many times as lines crashed on the original game.
    The grid should probably be a little thinner or more transparent.
    Anyway, it is a superb game and I am sure you are going to refine it and even worth make it premium.

    Great job…Tetris is the greatest game ever. A couple of bugs however on my 8330. When call comes in the game pauses OK but when I return to the game it starts a new game. Also, blocks occasionaly drop very rapidly unexpectedly and 3,4 or 5 in succession.

    Version 2.0 is now available with fixes a few issues I had with the old version, such as when you speed up the blocks to fall down the next block would also fall fast. This is now fixed. I’m sure there are other improvements too :) Great free game!
