It’s been called “one of the most addicting games ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate the Tetraminos as they fall and try to complete a full line of blocks. But watch out with each new level, the Tetraminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!

If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventually rise to the top of the play field and the game will end.
GAME LEVELS
As you advance to each level, the speed at which the Tetraminos drop will increase. Tetris® will automatically advance to the next game level each time the player clears ten lines.
SCORING
During game play, the total Line Count will appear in the Score/Line Count indicator at the top right hand corner of the screen. When you complete a line or multiple lines, the Score/Line Count indicator will show your total score, for two seconds. It will then return to your total Line Count.
Points are awarded for clearing each completed line of Tetraminos as follows, multiplied by the current level.
Single: 10 points: One line is cleared.
Double: 30 points: Two lines are cleared at the same time.
Triple: 50 points: Three lines are cleared at the same time.
Tetris®: 80 points: Four lines are cleared at the same time.
NOTE: Game starts at level “00”. The point multiply will start by 2 at level “01”.
In the event that you score more points than can be 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.

Each Tetramino is made up of four blocks, arranged into seven different patterns.
