How to play
- Move the falling piece left or right with the arrow keys (or the on-screen buttons on mobile).
- Press up to rotate the piece and down to soft-drop it faster; press space to hard-drop it instantly.
- Fill a full horizontal row and it clears, keeping your stack low.
- Clear four rows at once with the I-piece for a "Tetris" and a big bonus. The game ends when the stack reaches the top.
Strategy & tips
- Keep your stack flat and low — a bumpy surface leaves gaps you cannot fill later.
- Leave one column empty on the side and feed it I-pieces to score Tetrises (four-line clears) for maximum points.
- Use the ghost outline and next-piece preview to plan two moves ahead, not just the current piece.
- Rotate against the wall — pieces kick away from the edge, so you can squeeze into tight spots.
- The gravity speeds up every ten lines, so bank clears early while the pace is still slow.
