I am Aquila Goh, a Singapore-based writer and high-level Tetris player who writes under this pen name. I am known primarily as Galactoid in the Tetris world.
I hold an MA from Nanyang Technological University specializing in existential sociology and existential philosophy. I have authored nineteen books, including seven Tetris guidebooks and a series of philosophical literary novels.
My Tetris platforms — howtotetris.com and galactoidtetris.wordpress.com — have built a substantial combined readership of players seeking to understand the deeper art of the game. My seven How to Tetris guidebooks distill years of competitive Tetris knowledge into accessible guides for players at every level.
My literary work centers on The Eternal Reflection — a philosophical epic fantasy series set in the magical world of Leea’doch, weaving Eastern philosophy, spiritual wisdom, and the mythical language of Ei’lara into an epic narrative about consciousness, free will, and the eternal cycle of creation and destruction.
My flagship upcoming Tetris novel, titled to be announced, is a philosophical dystopian literary fiction set in 2030 New York, following a Singaporean immigrant who discovers that Tetris encodes the cosmos’ oldest truths.
I believe that games, like literature, are mirrors — and that the most profound wisdom often arrives in the most unexpected forms.
