Get to know your tetrominoes


I - The Intermittent Hero: Arrives just in time to save the day - when it damn well pleases.

T - The Problem Solver: Cleverly fits into all sorts of odd spaces without ever complaining.

O - The Chunky Thumper: Aka the Stupid One, it unthinkingly clunks down onto the most convenient spot.

L - The Industrious Ant: Makes Tetris miracles happen by unflinchingly providing a solid foundation on which the other pieces can build.

J - The Indolent Grasshopper: A crude and backward imitation of the previous piece, lacking
the L's dedication and selflessness.

S and Z - The Niche King and Queen, respectively: Usually only helpful after a string of themselves make the game board a terrible mess of a mountain range into which no other piece can snugly fit, these two filler pieces serve very little practical purpose.
