The objective of the game is survive as long as possible by placing blocks in way that results in an entire row(horizontal) being filled. This will cause the row to clear, allowing more blocks to be placed. The player can move the piece left and right by using the corresponding arrow keys. Pressing the space bar will instantly drop the piece to the bottom. Points are awarded for every piece placed and row cleared, with bonuses based off of speed of placement.
