Books 1, 2, 3, & 4 Testimonial:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had the chance to read early Aquila’s books, and even as someone who’s already very comfortable with the game, I was genuinely impressed. The explanations are clean, thoughtful, and extremely well put together.
Aquila has a real talent for breaking Tetris down in a way that just makes sense. The book is welcoming without being shallow, and it captures the fun and depth of Tetris really well.
It’s clear a lot of care went into making this an approachable, well-structured starting point, and I think it does a great job at exactly what it sets out to do.
I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve at the game, whether you’re a beginner or already playing at a decent level. There’s always something to learn here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Intuitive. Descriptive. Swag. These books really have it all. I cannot stress that enough. These books lay out fundamentals of Tetris and build upon them in easy and digestible diagrams and descriptions. If I could go back in time to years ago and learn Tetris all over again, I would have picked up these books from the very beginning. Yet even as a veteran today, these books still offer articulate, eloquent chunks of knowledge that express my own wisdom into words on a page. I am sure that all levels of Tetris players have something to gain from reading these books, whether it is just another perspective, another setup or better yet: an enlightening paradigm shift in how you play the game.
I especially commend Galactoid for his third book in the original trilogy. It contains by far the most thorough documentation of wacky T-spin setups you can find anywhere. The extensive research covers both broad and specific use cases of each setup, enriched by the wealth of experience of the author, evident through the succinct yet informative descriptions littered throughout this resource.
As if that wasn’t enough, these books offer a metacognitive perspective on what most people think is just a stacker game. Whether you’re a novice or expert, you can approach these books as your companion on the quest of self-improvement. It is rare to gain such valuable insight into how you improve, making your read through these books that much more enjoyable.
All in all: A gold mine of a collection of books that I often refer back to time and time again. 10/10 recommend to any and all aspiring Tetris enthusiasts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed the ambitious comparisons between Tetris and Cosmology. Teasing out these comparisons is not easy and it requires a creative mind to make the link. I appreciate the author’s excitement to share comparisons about life and Tetris– how sticking up for ourselves is apparent when we defend ourselves from the opponent’s garbage. It’s a worth a read to renew your appreciation for Tetris and give yourself a new perspective on it.
Book 4 Testimonial:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The book reads like something you would get if you paid big bucks for private lessons to become a better player. Do not overlook this book! It’s a great way to dive deep into your own gameplay and brush up on shortcomings in places where perhaps you settled and thought there was nothing to fix. With complete and aggressive coverage, the author demonstrates where gameplay can improve and steps to execute it. Covering so many terms and ideas can only be done by a masterful author. He clearly does it well here and has been studying it for so long. He is also so generous with his ideas and you can tell in his writing that he wants everyone who reads it to become the best player they can be
