“I can’t feel my fingers.”
The person to do it more than 30 years after the game’s release?
13-year-old Willis Gibson from Oklahoma.
Gibson uploaded a video of his achievement to YouTube, and it’s quite a sight to behold.
He is demonstrably overwhelmed with excitement and astonishment.
At this point, the game freezes.
Technically speaking, Tetris is unbeatable because it could theoretically go on forever.
But Willis is believed to have just set a world record.
Tetris expert Vince Clemente toldThe New York Timesthat no human has ever gotten this far in Tetris before.
Clemente said Willis did what was thought to be impossible.
Willis is also a professional Tetris competitor and is one of the United States' most accomplished players.
Willis has earned around $3,000 from competing in Tetris tournaments so far.
Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1985.
A feature film called Tetris was released in 2023 starring Taron Egerton as Rogers and Nikita Yefremov as Pajitnov.
