A falling-block puzzle game from Russia. The screen fills up with "Tetrads", shapes made up of four blocks. Move, rotate and stack the blocks so they form rows. Completed rows will disappear. If the blocks stack to the top of the screen then the game is over.
Game A is an endless game where the speed increases as you clear rows, and Game B requires you to clear a set number of rows at a certain speed to win the game.
You can also play a VS. Mode against another player. When your opponent clears multiple rows, indestructible blocks rise from the bottom of your screen, reducing the play area.
