About TenTrix
TenTrix puts a 10 by 10 grid of glowing cyan lines in the middle of a dark blue, tunnel-like backdrop. A large score number sits above the board with your BEST result under it, and a pause button waits in the top-right corner. Below the grid, a tray holds three shapes at a time, drawn smaller than the cells: a pink L, a short orange bar, a single yellow square, a blue four-block line and so on.
The twist is that no shape can be turned, so each one has to fit the board exactly as it is offered. Pieces do not drop from the top as in older falling-block games; they wait in the tray until you place them, and filling a whole row or column clears it. The score already rises when blocks go down, as the 3 shown after a single three-block corner suggests, so every placement counts. The game is built as a tall portrait column, which suits a phone held upright.

How to play TenTrix
Objective
Place every shape from the tray onto the 10x10 grid, unrotated, and keep clearing full lines so there is always room for the next set of three.
Controls
Desktop
- Click NEW GAME: open a fresh board from the title menu
- Pause button (top right): stop the round
Mobile
- Tap NEW GAME: start a round on an empty grid
- Pause button (top right): stop the round
Getting started
- On the title screen, check the green speaker button if you want silence, then press NEW GAME under the rainbow TEN TRIX logo.
- Look at the tray under the board first: it shows the next three shapes, and each one keeps the orientation it is drawn in.
- Place the shapes onto open cells of the 10 by 10 grid, starting with the awkward ones like the five-block L while the board is empty.
- Watch the big number at the top climb as blocks go down, and compare it with the BEST value shown under it.
- Hit the round pause icon at the upper right when you need a break before deciding where a tricky piece goes.
Tips
- Since shapes never turn, keep one long straight gap open somewhere on the board for the four-block bars the tray sometimes offers.
- Deal with the bulkiest shape in each set of three first; the single yellow square and short bars can fill leftover holes afterwards.
- Corner shapes like the orange three-block piece fit best against an edge, so build outward from the walls instead of the middle.
- The tray shapes are drawn smaller than the grid cells, so picture each one at full board size before committing it to a spot.

TenTrix FAQ
Can the shapes be rotated in TenTrix?
No. Every shape keeps the orientation it shows in the tray, so an L pointing left stays that way. That is the main twist, and it makes leaving matching gaps on the board more important than in rotating block games.
Do the blocks in TenTrix fall from the top?
Not on the board shown in the game. Three shapes wait in a tray beneath the grid, and you set them down where you want them, so there is no falling timer pushing you to rush a decision.
What do the numbers above the TenTrix board mean?
The big number is your current score and BEST under it is your top result so far. Placing a three-block corner on an empty board already showed a score of 3, so set-down blocks add points as well as cleared lines.
