[edit] License

The game is licensed under a 2-clause license similar to The FreeBSD Copyright, but does not include the last paragraph about views and conclusions.

[edit] Gameplay

The game essentially follows the gameplay of the early Tetris games by Nintendo, with the classic modes A- and B-type (marathon and line clear). However, in vitetris there is a short delay before the piece is locked (after it has landed), which makes it possible to play at higher levels.

Two-player battles can be played on the same computer or over network. When clearing several lines at once, garbage is sent to the opponent.
