falling blocks
Stacking puzzle game
Falling blocks is a genre of puzzle video games where geometric shapes descend from the top of the screen and must be arranged before they stack to the top.
Tetris is the defining example.
The term describes both the game type and its core mechanic: I've been playing falling blocks games since the Game Boy.
