Scoring and grades
- To be written: how points are accumulated
A line that clears the screen is a "Bravo" and is worth four times the score.
When the player surpasses a given score, TGM assigns the player a grade corresponding to the score. As in the game Go, grades are "signed":
| Minimum score | Grade |
|---|---|
| 0 | 9 |
| 400 | 8 |
| 800 | 7 |
| 1,400 | 6 |
| 2,000 | 5 |
| 3,500 | 4 |
| 5,500 | 3 |
| 8,000 | 2 |
| 12,000 | 1 |
| 16,000 | S1 |
| 22,000 | S2 |
| 30,000 | S3 |
| 40,000 | S4 |
| 52,000 | S5 |
| 66,000 | S6 |
| 82,000 | S7 |
| 100,000 | S8 |
| 120,000 | S9 |
| 126,000 | GM |
To achieve Grand Master rank, the player must reach grade 1 before level 300, grade S4 before level 500, grade GM before level 999, and level 999 at or 13:30:00.
