Istruzioni per l'uso

Gameplay di base

The objective of Tetris Worlds is to manipulate falling blocks (Tetriminos) to create complete horizontal lines without any gaps. When a line is completed, it disappears, and the blocks above it fall down. The game ends when the stack of blocks reaches the top of the playing field.

• Movimento: Use the directional pad (D-pad) to move falling Tetriminos left or right.
• Rotazione: Use the A or B buttons to rotate the Tetrimino clockwise or counter-clockwise.
• Soft Drop: Press down on the D-pad to make the Tetrimino fall faster.
• Hard Drop: Press the Up button on the D-pad to instantly drop the Tetrimino to the bottom.

Modalità di gioco

Tetris Worlds features six distinct game modes, each with unique rules and objectives:

• Classic Tetris: The traditional Tetris experience.
• Square Tetris: Clear lines by forming 2x2 squares.
• Cascade Tetris: Blocks fall into empty spaces after lines are cleared, potentially creating chain reactions.
• Hot-Line Tetris: Clear specific "hot lines" to advance.
• Fusion Tetris: Attach "fusion blocks" to a central "atom" block.
• Sticky Tetris: Blocks of the same color stick together, and clearing lines requires clearing all blocks of a certain color.
