How It Was Made
The Core Idea
People have been playing Tetris for decades. Shapes made of four squares fall from the top, and players turn and drop them to fill whole rows. When a row is full, it disappears.
Inspiration and Development
This unofficial animation uses blockrain.js, an open-source Tetris project. Automatic play turns the familiar falling-block rules into a looping background for the homepage.
The Easter Egg Experience
What Stands Out
Your Google homepage becomes a full-screen Tetris scene, with the Google logo sitting on top. Brightly colored blocks fall from the top of the screen, and every time a row fills up, it disappears to make room for more.
How It Works
The animation runs automatically: pieces fall, completed rows clear, and it restarts when the stack reaches the top. There are no manual piece controls.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to start the Tetris animation.
- Watch the blocks fall and full rows disappear behind the Google logo.
- On wider screens, click “I'm Feeling Lucky” to cycle through the animation speeds.
- Click the Google logo to make it spin while the blocks keep falling.
Click “I'm Feeling Lucky” to cycle through the animation speeds, or click the Google logo to make it spin. The falling blocks continue automatically while you try these controls.
Final Thoughts
This unofficial tribute keeps the blocks falling and rows clearing behind the Google logo. You can leave the animation running, spin the logo, or change the speed while the pieces play themselves.
