Gemini Tetris

In a typical Tetris game:

• Left Arrow / A → Move piece left
• Right Arrow / D → Move piece right
• Down Arrow / S → Soft drop (move down faster)
• Up Arrow / X / W → Rotate piece
• Spacebar → Hard drop (instantly place piece)
• P → Pause / resume the game
• R → Restart the game
• Esc → Open menu or quit (in some versions)

Goal of the game

Arrange falling blocks (called tetrominoes) to complete full horizontal lines. Completed lines disappear and give points. The game speeds up over time, and it ends when blocks stack to the top of the screen.

Main mechanics

• Different block shapes fall one at a time.
• Rotating and positioning pieces efficiently is the core strategy.
• Clearing multiple lines at once gives higher scores.
• Keeping the board flat and avoiding gaps helps survival.

Common advanced terms

• Tetris → Clearing 4 lines at once with the long “I” piece.
• Soft Drop → Holding down to speed descent.
• Hard Drop → Instantly dropping a piece into place.
• Hold → Saving a piece for later use (modern versions).
