RETROPLAY ARENA's Block Puzzle is a full-featured Tetris experience: 7 tetrominoes, ghost piece preview, next piece display, hold piece (press Up), hard drop (press Down), wall kicks, and a combo counter that rewards consecutive line clears.
Hold Piece Strategy
Press Up to store the current piece and swap it later. Use this to save I-pieces for Tetrises (4-line clears worth 1200 × level points). Hold is single-use per piece — you can't hold twice without placing.
Combo Counter
Clear lines on consecutive piece placements to build combos. Each combo adds 50 × combo × level bonus points. A 5-combo at level 3 adds 750 extra points. The counter resets when you place a piece without clearing.
Speed Curve
Fall speed increases every 10 lines cleared. By level 5, pieces fall noticeably faster. By level 10, you need to pre-plan 2-3 pieces ahead. The ghost piece (translucent preview at the bottom) shows exactly where your piece will land.
Scoring Breakdown
Single: 40×level. Double: 100×level. Triple: 300×level. Tetris: 1200×level. Hard drop bonus: 2 points per cell dropped. Combo bonus stacks on top. Top players score 10,000+ by maintaining combos through level 8+.
