Chaste Tris
Chaste Tris is my first complete video game I have made. It is obviously based on similar other games but easier because there is no gravity. Blocks can be freely moved up, down, left, and right with the arrow keys. They can be rotated with X or Y keys and can also be held for later use with C.
But my game also allows for a new feature that none of the other games have. It is possible to save the state of the game by pressing the . key and reload it with the , key to go back and correct mistakes. This makes it the perfect tool to test out playing styles which would be perfectly valid on other puzzle block style games but would be very difficult.
Consider this game as a relaxing practice tool to test the limits of what you can think of when you have all the time in the world to get it right!

I got interested in finding a low-stress, no gimmicks version of Tetris after reading an abstract of a study that claimed playing Tetris immediately after a stressful event can help prevent people from developing PTSD. No doubt more research is needed, and I'm not a researcher, but your work here in building a lightweight version of the game that can run on minimal hardware might have more impact down the line than you ever planned.
Took me a few minutes to get used to the controls but they work great. Personally, I would enjoy having some feedback with a sound effect / animation when a row clears. I'd also enjoy having a "shadow grid" of maybe dark gray lines on the black background, it would make it easier to tell when I've got my block lined up correctly for the hard drop.

Needs the ability to turn off the music, and to be able to hold down the arrows rather than spam them.
Otherwise it is what it says on the tin
