After reading this I thought there must be a nice and simple Tetris game in the play store. Boy was I wrong. I think some guy has a “block puzzle” empire and has just rereleased the same tetris clone game a hundred times. And official Tetris is a total abomination of unlocks and achievements.
Bummer.
There are three main Tetris games as far as playability goes.
Classic Tetris for NES where you play with your foot
Tetris effect where handling and graphics are decent
Tetr.io where speed is everything
Notable mentions Tetris 99 - tetris for Nintendo switch PuyoPuyo tetris - sometimes you play puyopuyo sometimes you play tetris
Everything else is basically irrelevant
Yeah the ip is very terribly maintained. Imo the best game is an fangame, tetr.io

I went through a similar thing, conclusion I came to was that as Tetris is so popular, the owners of the IP have it on lockdown… it is quite a specific IP that’s kinda hard to do something similar-but-the-same.
Options I came up with were pirating a copy, or xbox game pass (iirc Tetris Effect is available there). Or… are there any Gameboy emulators that run on mobile?

There’s as many gb emulators as possible, for a while i used nostalgia emulator (great ui and functional save state feature) but you can also run retroarch and other multiemulators. The one thing you need is the rom, but that is another story.
