Tetris Online (Japan) is an official online Tetris game for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

The game client is in Japanese, though there is currently an unofficial English translation patch here.

Gameplay

  • ARE, IRS and IHS are not present.
  • The Random Generator is used for piece distribution.
  • Line clear delay is minimal to non-existent depending on the upgrade level.

T-spins

  • T-spin recognition is 3-corner T.
  • A T-spin Single that uses a wall kick is known as a "T-spin Mini" and is less powerful than a normal T-spin Single in both single player and multiplayer. A T-spin Double/Triple with a kick is still counted as a T-spin Double/Triple.

Back To Back

  • A Tetris or T-spin line clear is considered Back to Back (B2B/BtB) if the previous line clear was either a Tetris or T-spin.

REN

  • REN is the Japanese term for combo.
  • Each consecutive line clear increases REN by 1 regardless of the type of line clear (Doubles/Triples/Tetrises only add 1 to the counter).
  • The REN counter is displayed for REN 1 or higher. The first line clear can be thought of as REN 0, and thus is not displayed.


Single Player

Single player is only available to Premium users. It consists of the following four modes:

Time Attack

  • Players begin the game at Level 1 with 2 minutes of time available.
  • There are 30 levels in total.
  • To clear a level, the player must bring the goal down to 0.
  • The goal of each level is equal to 5 times the level.
  • Completion of each level adds 30 seconds to the timer.
  • Overclearing does not affect the goal of the next level.

  • A B2B line clear reduces the goal by 1.5 times more than its normal counterpart.
  • REN reduces the goal by floor(ren# / 2) (but not more than 10)

Marathon

  • The aim is to maximize your score before the game ends.
  • There are 20 levels in total, the goal of each level is 10 lines.
  • Line clears carry over to the next level.
  • Line clears reduce the goal by the amount of lines cleared.
  • The maximum amount of lines clearable is 203.

Hori Tetris

  • The aim is to dig through a field of rising garbage.
  • Four difficulty levels exist:
    • Easy - 100 lines
    • Normal - 200 lines

  • The maximum room size is 6. Premium users may create password-protected rooms.
  • Teams must be the same size before a team match can start.
  • After topping out, a player may choose to practice while waiting. The practice session continues until the current match ends.
  • In a 1v1 game room, the winner stays in the round and the loser joins the end of the queue of spectators.
