regular block. The line forming the rectangular block which must extend from the leftmost column

of unit corresponding to the number of lines disappeared. Otherwise, the blocks will accumulate
and increase in height and the game will be over when it reaches the top height limit.

the blocks will increase. When the blocks accumulate up to the height limit, the game will be

blocks. Thus, in order to win in a game, arrange the orientation of the blocks so as to fill one or
more horizontal lines. During the game, you can control the placement of the block by pressing
the DIRECTION keys. Press the LEFT/RIGHT keys to control the horizontal movement of the
falling blocks. Press the A and B keys to rotate the falling blocks in the clockwise and the anti-
clockwise direction respectively.
As a special feature in the game, bombs are available for activation in the game. The
number of bombs available for activation is shown on the screen. You can increase that number
by arranging two horizontal blocks at the same time. These bombs will destroy blocks and leave
a blank T at its landing place. However, blocks above this T will not fall. In addition, as long as a
bomb is falling, the falling blocks will remain static. Pressing the UP key and the B key

keys.
