OBJECTIVE

In Tetris, you want to get as many points as possible by getting rid of all the Blocks in a straight line. Inside the Matrix (playing area), the player has to turn, move, and drop the falling Tetriminos. When lines are full of blocks and have no empty spots, they are cleared.
As more lines are cleared, the level goes up and the Tetriminos fall faster, making the game harder. The game is over if the Blocks land above the top of the field.
