Hah, great. This is going to be a good series. Never really thought of Tetris like that.
This gave me a good chuckle!

Needs to be a shirt.
Like, now.
I would clothe my pale human torso in this.

I can't seem to get more than three rows cleared. Is anyone working on a walkthrough?

Ha ha ha. Is this going to be called Babylon Sticks, or will it have a different name (since it's a different series.

@PatrickAnimi I'll keep it under Babylon Sticks, since it's the same style and format as the other strips. These are just going to be game-centric.
Thanks to everyone for the great comments :)

Haha! Of course, when the "L" jumps, he's gonna miss the gap and end up on top of the orange "T".
Still giggling! The t-shirt idea is great--let us know if you do that!
Heh - this looks to be quite good.
The 'walkthrough' was a nice touch.

Isn't it a little weird that all the blocks are so gung-ho about the L jumping? Three of them would cease to exist if the L dropped in longside-first. The other two would have their legs chopped off. This is one dark comic...

Me thinks you assume too much.
Maybe they achieve some sort of block-nirvana by combining themselves into complete rows?

nice one
does anyone know how to clear 2 row?
I only can clear 3, 1 or no row at all
Haha, I know people who are obsessed with Tetris, & I showed them it. They love it. I think Tetris means 4. All the pieces have 4 "blocks" in them. When you clear 4 rows, the voice alerting you to combos goes "TETRIS!" What else...? Nice comic, again.

Yeah, Wikipedia confirms the oft-use claim that it combines two things: Tetra (four) and Tennis (Alexey Pazhitnov's favourite sport).
Welcome onboard! Glad you like the comics :)
