Game modes
From the main menu you will see 4 game modes to play.
Tournament
You play through 5 stages against the computer, each stage being a best out of 3 match. As the stage progresses, the blocks will fall faster and make life more difficult. This mode is strictly 1 player.
Versus
Versus can be against the computer or a human player. The gameplay is similar to tournament, in that you must destroy your opponent. The matchpoint is set in the options menu. If the matchpoint is set to continuous, you will be prompted before starting another game after each match.
Trial
This is a 1 player game, but 2 people can play it at the same time (independant of each other). Your goal is to score as much as possible by creating chains or by lasting a long time (or preferably both!) There are no meteors in this mode.
Tutorial
This will show you how to play the game.
When you start a tournament or versus game, you will be offered two styles of game play, either normal or punish. The difference is what happens when a player loses.
Normal
When a player fills up, both the winner and loser start from the beginning
Punish
Only the loser starts with an empty board. The winner carries on as normal. However, the loser will still receive any meteors left over from the previous round, instead of both meteor counters being set to zero.
