Fun fact in the video game Space Invaders, the game speeds up as you defeat aliens. However, this was a result of freed up processing power due to aliens being cleared off the screen vs an intentional design decision https://i.imgur.com/dcra6y3.jpg

Fascinating! Now I’m wondering if that enemy speed-up in Space Invaders consciously or subconsciously inspired the falling tetromino speed-up in Tetris 🤔
