Gameplay Edit

Similar to a game of Tetris, the goal in this game is to clear several rows of blocks by using two tetriminos in the intended order. The player must first select the tetrimino, then choose a viable position to fit the gap in the blocks; the tetrimino will then automatically fall into the gap. One-sided tetriminos (straight and Z-shaped) only have two possible positions to choose from, while the rest (J-, L-, and T-shaped) have four. If the player mistakes a selection, they can choose to retry the level, or go back to the level menu.

The game presents five levels which can be played in any order, and is won once all levels are completed. On both the title and congratulatory screens, the player can opt to visit the official Tetris DS website.
