How to play

Fill entire horizontal rows. Blocks fall automatically; the run ends when the top is blocked. ← → move · ↑ rotate · ↓ soft drop · Space hard drop. Outline shows landing. Clear 10 lines to level up.

Progress and difficulty

Every 10 cleared lines raises the level and shortens the gravity interval. Score rewards 1, 2, 3, or 4 cleared rows with 100, 300, 600, or 1,000 points multiplied by the current level.

Player and save facts

The best score and sound preference stay in this browser. The current board is not saved, and the game has no account or purchase requirement.

Developer note

The next-piece preview and landing outline turn the board into a readable planning problem: choose a legal landing now while keeping future columns open. The same run is playable with visible controls or keyboard commands.

Which controls can I use?
