Just be glad you are already immune to Tetris.

Best strategy (for me) seems to be to play it like tetris. Never ever use the up key and create a row at the bottom where everything collapses into it.

This sort of clicked towards, oooh I don't know about 1:30am this morning.

That sort of works, I've been using a similar strategy but switching what I call "bottom" whenever the moment suits.

Empirically, this got me much further than the corner (stair-stepped) approach.
