description Welltris Overview
Welltris is a 1989 puzzle game designed by Alexey Pajitnov with Andrei Sgenov and published internationally by Spectrum HoloByte. It extends the falling-block idea into a square well: pieces descend along any of four walls, can move and rotate there, and slide onto the floor, an 8 by 8 grid. Players manage the growing surfaces and clear completed lines, while filling all four walls ends the game.
