User guide

While playing, the whole playing field in the game will rotate back and forth - the more lines you clear, the more it will rotate.

When you reach 65 lines, the fun begins as the pieces will start falling faster as well as the playing field will do a 360 rotation.

There is no pause in this game.

Controls

A/B/Start - Start game

Left/Right - Move the piece left/right (duh!)

Down - Make piece move faster downward

A/Up - Clockwise rotation

B - Anti-clockwise rotation
