Quality-of-Life in Tetris Games

Apotris (https://akouzoukos.com/apotris), a GBA "demake" of tetris is one of the cooler ones I've seen with regard to QOL. Lots of settings for tweaking controls and sensitivity that make it possible to fine tune the game to just feel fantastic to play

There is also "Tetanus On Drugs" on GBA (later renamed Lockjaw: The Overdose), which uses Mode 7-style distortions to simulate the experience of playing Tetris under the influence. I'm not 100% sure of which rule set it uses, but it does have hold pieces and delayed piece locking at the bottom.

Apotris is the funnest version of this that I’ve played. I have it on an R36s and also on my iPhone via emulation. Works better with native controls but still fun on the phone.
