Gameplay

Gameplay was nearly identical in gameplay to other ''Tetris'' titles, but with a different soundtrack. The game offered four modes of play dubbed "Marathon" mode, "Challenge" mode, "Sprint" mode and "Master Mode".

Discontinuation

In 2014, the game was discontinued without prior notice from the official website and replaced by Tetris.com, a simpler online version.
