GENERAL GAMEPLAY INFO

GOAL - Put your organizational skills and endurance to the test by creating lines that trigger Cascades and Avalanche Line Clears, collect Gems that reward you with extra time and score multipliers.

TIME - The game starts with a 1:00 countdown timer that will end the game when it’s out of time. You can regain time from Gems that reward extra time however the timer will not exceed 1:00.

CASCADE LINE CLEAR - Maneuver the falling Tetrimino to fit them together within the Matrix to create a line and trigger a Cascade Line Clear, fill every square within a single row.

SCORE POINTS - Earn points by creating lines and triggering Cascades. Create multiple lines at once to increase your scoring opportunities.

TETRIS™ LINE CLEAR - Completely filling four rows of horizontal lines at one time with an I-Tetrimino results in a Tetris™ Line Clear. This important move will reveal both red and green Gems, adding valuable time to the countdown clock and generating a powerful shockwave which results in an impressive Avalanche of falling Blocks.

GEMS - Gems will appear from the bottom as you trigger Cascade Line Clears, or when you set up a Tetris Line Clear. The Gems have different colors with their own rewards.

GHOST PIECE - Use the Ghost Piece to determine the best fit for the falling Tetrimino. This helpful guide appears directly below the falling Tetrimino and displays possible placements.

NEXT QUEUE - Preview the upcoming Tetrimino in the Next Queue to plan ahead and increase your scoring opportunities.

HOLD QUEUE - Store a falling Tetrimino in the Hold Queue for later use.

GAME OVER - The game ends when the time runs out. If the time runs out during a Cascade, the game will continue until the end of the Cascades. Time gained during this period can revive the game. As a last result, the remaining Blocks placed by the player will break apart and trigger a last Cascade action.
