The standard controls use arrow keys for movement: Left/Right to move blocks horizontally, Up to rotate blocks clockwise, and Down to soft drop. The spacebar performs a hard drop. Touch controls are available for mobile devices with intuitive swipe and tap mechanics.

Points are earned primarily by clearing lines. Single lines are worth 100 points, double lines 300, triple lines 500, and a Tetris (four lines) awards 800 points. These base scores are multiplied by your current level. Additional points can be earned through soft and hard drops.

Key strategies include maintaining a flat stack, leaving space for I-pieces to clear Tetrises, using the preview window effectively, and learning T-spin techniques. Practice efficient piece placement and develop muscle memory for quick rotations and movements.

Our current version focuses on the classic single-player experience. Players can compete for high scores on our global leaderboards. We regularly update our games, so multiplayer features may be added in future updates.

When blocks stack to the top of the playfield and a new piece cannot enter, the game ends. Your final score is recorded and you can choose to start a new game to try beating your previous score.

The classic endless mode is the primary game mode where players clear lines until they top out. Marathon mode challenges players to clear 150 lines, while Sprint mode tests how quickly players can clear 40 lines.

Players advance levels by clearing lines. Each level increases the falling speed of blocks and the point multiplier for cleared lines. This creates a progressively challenging experience that tests both speed and accuracy.

There are seven Tetromino shapes: I (long piece), O (square), T, S, Z, J, and L pieces. Each has unique properties and optimal placement strategies. Learning to use each piece effectively is key to success.

Regular practice is essential. Focus on learning piece placement, efficient stacking, and quick decision-making. Study advanced techniques like T-spins and perfect clears. Watch expert players and try to understand their strategies.

Research suggests Tetris can improve spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and hand-eye coordination. Regular play may enhance cognitive functions and decision-making abilities while providing entertaining mental exercise.

Tetris combines simple rules with deep strategy, creating a perfect balance of accessibility and challenge. The satisfaction of clearing lines and the constant drive to improve scores creates a compelling gameplay loop that keeps players engaged.

While individual games cannot be saved, your high scores are automatically recorded. This allows you to track your improvement over time and compete with other players on our leaderboards.
