Tetris Plus is a Tetris variant produced by Jaleco in 1995 for their Jaleco Mega System 32 arcade hardware. In 1996 a Saturn and PlayStation port was released, as well as a Game Boy port. The game includes two single player modes, Normal Mode and Puzzle Mode, as well as a two player VS Mode which plays like a competitive version of Puzzle Mode.
On November 1st, 2019, it was re-released on the AtGames Legends Ultimate Arcade.
Gameplay
Normal mode
This mode is described in the selection menu as "Regular Tetris", and plays similar to SEGA's 1988 version, with a speed curve which rises and falls.
To either side of the playfield is a pair of bars which slowly rise with the passage of time; clearing lines will fill the bars more rapidly. When the bars are completely full, the next tetromino locked will advance the player a level and empty the bars.
The amount of points awarded for line clears increases linearly from level 1 to level 10, and from then on remains constant. For a given level, n, between 1 and 10, the points awarded are as follows:
- single: 100n points
- double: 400n points
- triple: 800n points
- tetris:1600n points
The scoring for level 0 is the same as for level 1.
- Speed levels, in frames per row:
| Level | Easy | Normal | Hard | Hardest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50 | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| 1 | 25 | 20 | 16 | 16 |
| 2 | 20 | 14 | 10 | 10 |
| 3 | 16 | 8 | 7 | 6 |
