TIPS AND HINTS:
Move and rotate falling Tetriminos™ to form horizontal lines in the Matrix. When a line is completed, it disappears from the Matrix. Earn bonuses for clearing multiple lines at once. The game ends when a new Tetrimino™ is blocked from entering the Matrix.
On right side of screen, the next four blocks in your queue are displayed. Use this advance view to determine how best to position your blocks as they fall.
A "Ghost Piece," shaded gray at the bottom of your matrix, indicates where Tetriminos™ will fall. You can choose to turn off the Ghost Piece in the Options menu.
If you think you should delay the Tetrimino™ that begins to drop, use the number "O" key to hold it back by swapping it with the next Tetrimino™ in the queue. Select number "O" again when you'd like to play the held Tetrimino™.
