TETRAMINO CONTROL

As the Tetraminos fall, you will need to rotate them
to fit into the lines below.

You can move a Tetramino to the left or to the right
as it is falling by pressing the Left and Right
Directional Keys.

A Tetramino will come to rest when it hits the
bottom line of the play field or when it is blocked by
another Tetramino.

After a Tetramino has come into contact with the
blocks beneath it, you can slide it to the left or the
right for one second before “Lock Down” by
pressing the Left and Right Directional Keys.

To rotate a Tetramino clockwise, press Rotation
Button 1 until the Tetramino is in the desired
position.

To rotate a Tetramino counter-clockwise, press
Rotation Button 2 until the Tetramino is in the
desired position.

SOFT DROP

To accelerate the speed at which a Tetramino falls,
press the Down Directional Key. The Tetramino will
“Lock Down” immediately upon contact with placed
Tetraminos when using Soft Drop.

PAUSING A GAME

To pause a game during gameplay, press the Start
button

. Press this button again to return to the

game in progress.

GAME OVER

A game is over when any cell for the starting
position of a new Tetramino is filled. This is called
“Topping Out.” The words “Game Over” will scroll
across the screen.

At the end of the game, the Score and Line Count
Indicator will display your line count, score, high line
count, and high score.

sleep. To wake the unit, press the Start button.

RESETTING THE GAME
