This isn’t 100% like that, but Pullfrog is a game where you have to maneuver a frog around a tetris well as it helps you make lines or something.

Also definitely doesn’t count but Romino’s Adventure is a puzzle platformer where you have to grab and move various tetris pieces around to reach the exit, so maybe it’s like a distant cousin to these.

Appreciate variations of the theme, these both seem cool!

somebody on this very forum made one of these games:

the twist is that all of the blocks exist in the level and you have to move them around

Suwako-chan no Paccherisu
At Comiket in 2013, I picked up a copy of this Toho fan game by the game by UTG Software dōjin circle called Suwako-chan no Paccherisu that’s a Gussun Oyoyo clone (with a few ideas of its own, I think, like Toho-style bullet hell bosses).

I thought this was a really unique and amazing idea for a game until a friend showed me Gussun Oyoyo lol.

Tetrovny!
Also by me (in addition to Zem) along with WiL and Brian Polak, is a not-quite-but-similar idea where blocks fall at random and you have to navigate them to escape. You play David Duchovny and summon the help of Saddam Hussein and Fat Albert. It was 2003 and I was 20.
