There is one game mode, a basic endless marathon style game. The player can start on any level from 1 to 15.
Scoring

Development
Tetris MicroCard developer, Kevin Bates, originally planned to have two onboard chips that a user would be able to switch between, one to play the official Tetris game, and one for user programmed games.[1] After some delays the original shipping date of August, 2016 was pushed back to March, 2017, and the two chip feature removed. Despite this, some reviewers and early prototypes of the two chip version exist. The reason for the removal given was that units would die due to interference between the chips.[2]
