Tetris Plus^[a] is a Tetris variant produced by Jaleco in 1995 for their Jaleco Mega System 32 arcade hardware. In 1996 a Sega 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. The sequel, Tetris Plus 2, was released in 1997.

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 stays capped at 10.^{[scoring 1]}

single: 100 × level points
double: 400 × level points
triple: 800 × level points
tetris: 1600 × level points

↑ The scoring for level 0 is the same as for level 1.

Lock delay remains constant at 15 frames.
DAS has an initial delay of 10 frames, and a repeat rate of 20Hz.

Puzzle mode

Puzzle mode involves clearing lines to get a professor to the bottom of the playing field.

The player gets a time bonus based on the clear time. The maximum bonus is 20000 points (corresponding to 10 seconds or less) with 100 points subtracted for every 1/4 second over 10 seconds.
