BASIC GAME RULES
In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetriminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.
Tetriminos fall from the top of the playing field to the
bottom.
Each Tetrimino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.
You must rotate the Tetriminos as they fall and fit them
together to create lines.
If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventually rise to the top of the playing field and the game will
end.
ote: Game starts at level “00.” The “point multiply”
N
ill start by 2 at level “01.”
w
n the event that you score more points than can be
I
displayed, a “Roll Over” will occur and the score display will restart at zero. A Roll Over is indicated by
dashes in front of the score.
HIGH SCORES
The highest score of the game will be displayed in the
Score and Line Count indicator at the end of the
game.
GAME MODES
etris® has three game modes: Marathon Tetris
