What else to say... We do not get any points from just dropping a tetromino. The next tetromino is previewed at it's starting position, which seems to be randomized. By using the three icons at the top right of the screen, we can pause the game for a maximum of five minutes. The "Key" icon gives us another control system, where we have access to two "soft drops", one much faster than the other, but still a soft drop. We have a sparse number of sound effects, which we can mute with the third icon.
This is what the game looks like after leaving it on while writing this post:

In all, it could with a few modifications (i.e. a black rather than white background, and perhaps with tetrominos of double size) become a pretty stylish, although not very efficent, screen saver. As a game, it is the joke it most likely was intended to be. Nothing less, nothing more.
