Drag and drop the pieces from the top of the screen into the grid at the bottom in order to create completed rows or columns. It’s similar to Tetris in a lot of ways, except pieces aren’t pulled to the bottom of the screen. They remain in place wherever you put them as long as they fit. Additionally, pieces can not be rotated. Quadris adds a nice strategic twist to its gameplay by allowing you to put pieces that don’t quite fit into the holding zone and use them later. The game also includes leaderboards.
