Get Tiltris Game, Free For BlackBerry Storm!

Time to show all you Storm owners out there some love of course! BBWorld.info found this interesting game floating around on GetJar. As seen in the video it's basically Tetris with a twist, quite literally. Tiltris makes use of the Storm's built in accelerometer and looks like it will have you twisting, turning and ...umm... in my case, cussing in no time.
You can grab the download from GetJar's mobile site, using the access code 40256 for absolutely no charge. Let us know in the comments what you think about it!

Awesome. Will play with it tonight.

I have been playing around with this and it's a lot of fun. The tilt is very sensitive and shows how much resolution of movement you can get with the accelerometer. It's defiantly worth the download to have some fun before EA kills it for being a Tetris clone.

OTA install- wap.getjar.com & search for tiltris

I downloaded it and played with is some this morning, it really demonstrates how sensitive the accelerometer is. Surprised RIM didnt include something like that on the device. App works well!

This game really helps showcase the accelerometer. I like.

Just downloaded and I like it a lot.
The only thing is how do you close it properly (not the end key way)?

Click the "Quick Download" and enter in code 40256 to download this to your phone OTA.

I like this game! It's pretty fun, plus it's free. It's quick and easy to adjust how your used to playing tetris. It's weird how it immediately starts when you open the program, but thats easily overlooked when you see that it's free.
hpfanatic Jan 14, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Yea, that threw me off too but like you said it's free so hey!
David Pollitt Jan 14, 2009 at 1:46 pm

I can't get my brower to download wap.getjar.com.
Please help? What I am doing wrong?
Thanks

How does one get wap.gatjar to downlaod?
golferjec#cb Jan 14, 2009 at 2:02 pm
How does one get "wap.getjar.com" to download on a Strom?
CBA_Bruin Jan 14, 2009 at 2:05 pm
For those who have successfully downloaded this game, we you prompted to enter the access code? I did not come across an option to enter the number. Will I get charged if I don't?
hpfanatic Jan 14, 2009 at 10:31 am
Yea, I would also like to know this since I didn't need to enter the code either...
swamp_water Jan 14, 2009 at 2:10 pm
This should do the trick

@CBA_Bruin There are no charges to download this
evantonio Jan 14, 2009 at 2:26 pm
i'm happy to see a game that makes use of the accelerometer, but this game kinda stinks. the pieces don't flip and spin as easily as they should, and it's a pretty inexact science to get them to land where you want, even though they have a grid set up to help the player direct the falling pieces.
still, it's a good start!
deathbyart Jan 14, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I dig it but I don't want it running 24/7. How the hell do I kill it? haha.. all I see is the option to "pause".
hennesseystealth Jan 14, 2009 at 2:44 pm
just lose the game by letting the pieces go through the roof. It goes back to the download folder when you lose. Not a very elegant way to end the game but it works.
vykacet Jan 14, 2009 at 8:43 am
hitting the red "call end" button will leave the game running. hitting the "back" button seems to close it down.

what a great game. thanks for posting, very fun to play!

HOLY CRAP A FREE BLACKBERRY GAME!
Wow, look at that, its not 9.95. But I guess its no solitaire!
numb683#cb Jan 14, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I went to the site and downloded it free without any code and wasnt asked for any charge info. The game is definitly a cool game and I love that it uses the accelerometer. Fun fun.
TheOneAndOnly06 Jan 14, 2009 at 9:04 am
while the game is a little flawed, it is a free game, and a nice little timekiller. Its great to see some games actually using the freakin' accelerometer.
ttopformula88 Jan 14, 2009 at 3:35 pm
I believe... although I could be wrong... But is the left / right tilt backwards??
Edit: ok... restarted the game.. everything is fine. sorry
turbopup Jan 14, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I like the free part, thank you. Just downloaded it and it looks fun.
tothin Jan 14, 2009 at 4:31 pm
great game
eager2own Jan 14, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I find it harder than the original ('cause rotating the pieces is not as responsive as a physical button)... but I am excited to see the use of the accelerometer, expecially -- as pointed out -- for free
robertw0925 Jan 14, 2009 at 4:56 pm
the game is cool
but the address is wrong or crashed
i found it at http://wap.getjar.com
madphone Jan 14, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Not bad. A real nice Tetris like game for the Storm
Killired Jan 14, 2009 at 11:17 am
love it.. but there's no sound like in the video.. and yes, my sounds are on!
soccerplayer Jan 14, 2009 at 6:16 pm
the sound in the video is just a song added to the video from the original tetris game. Tiltris doesn't have sound.
stormaddict13 Jan 14, 2009 at 5:53 pm
This is a great demo of the sensitivity of the accelerometer. I hope this is just the beginning of games involving the accelerometer.
zeni Jan 14, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Got it. Thanks!! It's harder than I thought it would be. I love the challenge.
Baltzis Jan 14, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Nuff said.
The.Godfather Jan 14, 2009 at 10:27 pm
thanks good people of this awesome site for finding this great little free app for the best touch screen phone on the market today.
HarlyFan Jan 14, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Seems to work well on the Storm, time will tell!
gordolotus Jan 14, 2009 at 11:06 pm
how do u even load this game its got a .jad extension??
xwera43 Jan 14, 2009 at 5:14 pm
I even did a search for it after looking at all the 9530 listed games & no go. I had to logon here to get the link that Swamp Water posted, copied & pasted into my Storm's browser & there it is.
Thanks for the direct link Swamp!

this game stinks.
fan_of_fanboys Jan 14, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Level 7 after a few tries. Changing the rotation isnt as effective as with a button but def. a nice (free) time killer. Come on App Center
derekflint Jan 15, 2009 at 2:17 am
Don't think I'd be happy if I'd paid for it, since it lacks the speed of control offered by Tetris, but as a little mess around app showing off the accelerometer and touchscreen, hell yeah.
I would like to see developers make more of touchscreens in general though - there's the NES emulator for the iPhone that chucks a NES controller on the screen - lovely touch that.
CBA_Bruin Jan 15, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I'd have to say I'm not very good at this game. The accelerometer is way too sensitive. Thanks for the link SW!
mickeylcsw Jan 15, 2009 at 5:37 pm
What a great program. It's a blast with the new twist of utilizing the accelerometer and free to boot. What a great way to show off the fun aspects of the Storm. Love the phone and love this site.
Killired Jan 15, 2009 at 9:16 pm
i rocked at tetris.. this is hard.. made it to level 7 after a few tries though.. glad it was free..
NY-518 Jan 15, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Sorry but i cant flip the drops around. Should the tap be set to specifics?
galindo62 Jan 16, 2009 at 12:39 am
i actually liked the game, its not bad and it certainly takes a few minutes to get used to it but for a free game its really good.
so it works good but i do wish it would come with like a menu and more of a format instead of just jumping you straight into the game
CheShreve Jan 16, 2009 at 12:54 am
Up until today, I was unhappy with what I thought was a slow to respond acclerometer. After spending almost an hour playing this game, Im very excited to see what other devlopers will come out with. It's VERY addicting.
Fleetwood84 Jan 15, 2009 at 6:13 pm
and i love it, its better then nothing...i usually turn it off by pressing back button....any other interesting downloads for these storms? post em up thanks1
rydeordie Feb 11, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I updgraded to 103 and lost this. Tried to dl again and getting 40256 cannot be found... Any idea where I can get it again?
r!noa Feb 18, 2009 at 10:04 pm
i cant open the site anymore... how come? :(
isawred2 Feb 22, 2009 at 11:34 pm
I tried all links, and finally tried the desktop download link from getjar.com (http://download12.getjar.com/downloads/wap/pub--1/40256/Tiltris_pc.jad). The application is "undergoing maintainance". Too bad! Maybe it's going to be a "premium" application we can enjoy and swear at for $9.99. :)
christaaa Mar 24, 2009 at 5:09 pm
im so confused. i go to download it and it isnt working/ it says to either find or save the program and i tried both and neither are working for me =/
KaShaun Sep 7, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Im trying to get this game and I can not egt this game on my storm can some please send instructions. please.
