On the 21st April 1989, Game Boy from Nintendo was released in Japan and was bundled with an iconic puzzle game Tetris.
To pay tribute to this legendary console and game, here is my 2014 variation.

I was so surprised (and pleased!) to see this show up in my Javascript RSS feed! This is an incredible display of scrolling effects, and such a thoughtful tribute to a technological icon. Bravo!
Thanks Mike, I am glad you liked it.
Very smooth Petr, this is so well put together and it looks amazing!
Looking forward to a YouTube series on this to go alongside your invaluable Skrollr/Christmallax videos.
Thanks Michael, didn’t get to creating a deconstruction of this, but my brand new Parallax Scrolling Master Class has a lot of Skrollr tips in it as well. Check it out.
