Electronic Arts Updates Tetris Blitz With New Watch Feature And More Improvements
Electronic Arts has just updated Tetris Blitz with a new Watch feature along with several other enhancements.
The new Watch feature introduced by the latest update to Tetris Blitz lets you watch other players' games to learn a trick or two from them. As noted by Electronic Arts:
Ever wonder how your friends get high scores? Do you want to know the tricks that people use to win tournaments? The watch button lets you watch their games to learn new skills and strategies!
The latest update to Tetris Blitz also lets you save your progress to the cloud so that you can pick up your game where you left off. Previously, you had to be connected to Facebook to have your game progress backed up. Now, Tertis Blitz has introduced a cloud-based alternative that should satisfy Facebook-averse Blitzers.

Released last May and subsequently given an AppAdvice Game of the Week award, Tetris Blitz is a fast-paced mobile edition of the classic Tetris game. Basically, it challenges you to score as high as you can by stacking and clearing as many tetrimino blocks as you can within only two minutes.
Electronic Arts' Tetris for iOS is also available in the App Store. Normally priced at $0.99, Tetris was offered by Apple as a free download in its official Apple Store app for iPhone earlier this month.
