The goal of the game is to arrange the blocks(Teromino) so that they form complete horizontal lines across the Tetris Matrix. When a complete line is formed, it disappears, and any blocks above it will fall down to fill the gap.
The game starts at a relatively slow pace, with one block falling at a time, but as the game progresses, the pace quickens and more blocks fall at once. If the player is unable to arrange the Tetrominoes so that they form complete lines, the blocks will stack up to the top of the Tetris Matrix, and the game is over.
