Tetramino Control, Soft Drop, Pausing a Game

TETRAMINO CONTROL

As the Tetraminos fall, you will need to rotate them to fit into the lines below.

You can move a Tetramino to the left or to the right as it is falling by pressing the Left and Right Directional Keys.

A Tetramino will come to rest when it hits the bottom line of the play field or when it is blocked by another Tetramino.

After a Tetramino has come into contact with the blocks beneath it, you can slide it to the left or the right for one second before “Lock Down” by pressing the Left and Right Directional Keys.

To rotate a Tetramino clockwise, press Rotation Button 1 until the Tetramino is in the desired position.

To rotate a Tetramino counter-clockwise, press Rotation Button 2 until the Tetramino is in the desired position.

SOFT DROP

To accelerate the speed at which a Tetramino falls, press the Down Directional Key. The Tetramino will “Lock Down” immediately upon contact with placed Tetraminos when using Soft Drop.

PAUSING A GAME

To pause a game during gameplay, press the Start button. Press this button again to return to the game in progress.

GAME OVER

A game is over when any cell for the starting position of a new Tetramino is filled. This is called “Topping Out.” The words “Game Over” will scroll across the screen.

At the end of the game, the Score and Line Count Indicator will display your line count, score, high line count, and high score.

SLEEP MODE

After one (1) minute of inactivity, Tetris® will go to sleep. To wake the unit, press the Start button.

RESETTING THE GAME

To reset the game, insert a small, blunt object into the small “Reset” hole on the front of the unit and press down gently. This will start a new game and erase all previously stored scores.
