Update: Good news! Tris has been updated to version 0.6. This new update pretty much irons out all the bugs in the previous version, making this game now seem like it was made by a professional game studio.
The new Main Screen
The high scores button now works! Now you can see all of your high scores and spend countless hours trying to beat them.Don't worry the resume feature isn't gone. It will appear if you quit while in the middle of the game and then return, or if you hit the menu button while in a game.
The new High Scores Screen
The new Game Over Screen
Now that you can actually lose (there used to be a bug that would keep the game going after you should have lost). There is a nice screen to enter your name for the high scores list.
The new About Screen
By the way, if you love tetris and you love puzzles you have to get the Tetris Cube. Its this really cool puzzle game using tetris pieces. What you have to do is fit the pieces together to make a perfect cube. Are you up to the challenge?

Version: 0.5
This is one of the better tetris games that I've seen for the iPod Touch. It has very nice graphics, a pretty good control system, and quite satisfying gameplay. There are a couple of bugs, but they aren't major enough to spoil the fun.
Main Screen
One of the things I like about this game is that if you're in the middle of playing and you need to lookup a contact or check something out on the internet you can leave the game and come back to finish it later.
The high score button is a little deceiving when you click on it nothing happens.(update: fixed in Version: 0.6) I guess this feature is going to be implemented in the future. Its kind of annoying because I find that when I play tetris on the computer what I try to do is beat my high score.
If you absolutely can't play tetris unless there are high scores, you'll have to turn to the trusty note app in the mean time.

About Screen
Game Screen
This here is the game screen, where all the fun takes place.The controls are a little unusual at first but you quickly get used to them. To move the piece left and right, just slide your finger horizontally anywhere on the playing field. Tap the screen to rotate the current piece. You can also speed the piece up on its way down by sliding your finger downwords.
One of the bugs, (I think its a bug and not done on purpose) is that if you decide to speed a block up by sliding downwards you can then slide your finger back up and it will make the piece go up (wierd huh?). It kind of feels like cheating.
Another bug is that sometimes when a piece falls instead of stopping when it hits another piece it will go on top of it. This doesn't happen often so its not something to worry about.(update: fixed in Version: 0.6)
Game Screen (again)
Here is a screenshot of me desperately losing. Clearly I was having a bad day because of my low low score.
One of the other weird bugs is that when the screen fills up and you should lose the pieces still try to fall. The game doesn't really end until you hit menu and choose "new game".
Overall it is a fun game with beautiful graphics and it's worth the download.
Have Fun!
