đ How to Play Tetris Classic & Comprehensive Guide
Tetris is widely considered the most famous puzzle game in video game history. Seven distinct geometric shapes (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z) fall from the top of a 10x20 well.
Scoring & Line Clears
Moving and rotating falling tetrominoes to create complete horizontal rows clears those lines from the matrix. Clearing 4 lines simultaneously with an I-piece earns a "Tetris" for maximum points. As lines are cleared, the game level and falling speed increase.
