SteelShark Studio launches Stresstris: Challenging Tetris in the browser
Published on February 14, 2026
Stresstris is now available: a more complex and challenging Tetris with a taller board, pieces with letters from your name, and higher speed.
SteelShark Studio is pleased to announce the launch of Stresstris, our new browser game.
Stresstris is a Tetris for players who want a real challenge: a taller board than the classic game, pieces with letters from your name, higher speed and variety. The game tagline is "Drop, fit, survive".
When you start, you enter your name (4-20 letters) and the game generates pieces with those letters alongside the classic shapes (I, O, T, S, Z, J, L). Clearing lines with your-name pieces scores more. You never get two letter pieces in a row: after a "letter" piece, the next one is always classic.
It features a level system (you level up every 10 lines; higher level means faster drop) and items earned by clearing lines: up to 3 at a time, one use each, with effects like clearing one line or three columns, slow + double score, bomb, gravity and more.
You can play it now at on desktop, tablet or mobile, no install required.
