I never imagined I'd like playing Tetris on the command line, on a terminal on my phone (termux), but here I am!

I couldn't find any Tetris app on fdroid, and just checked if pkgs had one. Lo and behold! It asked me to run pkgs install vitetris, and when I did, the tetris command was there to launch the game.

It's a two step process, as opposed to just launching an app, but it is very lightweight, no tracking, and FOSS.

For anyone with termux already installed and feeling a bit nostalgic, might be worth trying it out.

Nethack is also available on termux. I like to play on my Chromebook when at school.

    Nice! I did the same thing until my school figured out how to block Google Play

    Yeah the restrictions on Chromebooks are really annoying. Termux is the only way I can actually program on my chromebook and if they remove that I guess it's time to buy a Thinkpad.
