Termtris

A smooth, modern Tetris game for your terminal.

Live Linux & macOS View source

Requirements

Linux or macOS.
A modern terminal with true color and alternate-screen support — Ghostty, iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty, Alacritty, and recent GNOME Terminal all work. The game degrades gracefully to 16 colors elsewhere.
A Rust toolchain to install with Cargo.

Install

Install the termtris command with Cargo, either straight from the repository or from a local checkout of the source.

From the repository

cargo install --git https://github.com/mikerayco/Termtris.git

From a local checkout

cargo install --path .

Launch

Once installed, start the game from any terminal:

termtris

Controls

Key	Action
← / →	Move left / right
↑ or X	Rotate clockwise
Z	Rotate counter-clockwise
↓	Soft drop
Space	Hard drop
C	Hold
M	Mute / unmute
P or Esc	Pause / resume
Enter	Start / restart
Q	Quit (also Ctrl+C)

Sound

Sound effects are synthesized at runtime, with no bundled audio assets. On Linux, sound plays through ALSA, PulseAudio, or PipeWire; on macOS, through CoreAudio. If no audio device is available, the game continues silently.
