EA re-imagines Tetris with one touch feature

EA Mobile and the Tetris Company have announced the launch of a re-imagined version of Tetris for iPhone, iPod and iPad.

EA says the new Tetris App gives players “revolutionary ways” to play including One Touch, described as the difference between driving a stick shift and an automatic.

The game includes:

• The fan-favorite Marathon Mode.
• A brand new level-based Galaxy Mode, where players can use game-changing power ups to dig down and shatter their scores.
• Innovative Marathon One Touch Mode, a simple and easy-to-use control scheme for Marathon mode that is specially designed for touch screen gameplay.
• New gameplay challenges delivered via the never-before-seen Tetris Log system.
• Tetris Rank functionality that tracks players’ lifetime “lines cleared” to assign an overall rank.
• Ability to subscribe to the T-Club, the only Tetris fan club to give members exclusive access to new mobile challenges and content.

“The Tetris App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch was specifically designed to let players experience a re-imagined Tetris universe including the traditional Tetris gameplay they know and love,” said Bernard Kim, senior Vvce president of Sales and Marketing for EA Interactive. “The innovative new features are sure to bring hours of frenzied fun for both newcomers and seasoned Tetris fans.”

Tetris also includes Tetris Log, an Origin-powered function that delivers fresh challenges and tracks lifetime accumulated lines cleared across multiple mobile devices to assign an official Tetris Rank.

For a fee of $2.99 per month or $29.99 for a year, consumers who download Tetris can also subscribe to the T-Club, an elite Tetris fan club that gives members access to exclusive discounts and content, premium Tetris Log challenges, and a booster to progress their Tetris Rank faster.

Tetris is now available for a special introductory rate of $0.99/£0.69. We can’t see an iPad version at the time of writing.
