BASIC GAME RULES
In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetraminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.
Tetraminos fall from the top of the play field to the
bottom.
Each Tetramino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.
You must rotate the Tetraminos 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 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
starts at level “01”, wherepoints will be multiplied by 2.
Inthe 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.
