Gameplay

Normal mode

Normal mode screenshot

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