The objective of DragonTet is to move, rotate, and place the falling pieces to form complete horizontal lines on the game board.
Each time you complete a line, it disappears, freeing up space on the board and increasing your score.
By completing a certain number of lines, the game level increases. With each level, the falling speed of the pieces accelerates, making the game more challenging.
If the pieces stack up to the top of the board and you can no longer place them, the game is over!

Single-Player Mode:
  Compete to achieve the highest score possible.
  From level 4 onwards, every 12 pieces played will generate trap lines or blocks.

Two-Player Mode (Optional):
  Each player has their own board.
  The winner is the one who survives the longest or achieves the highest score.
  From level 4 onwards, trap blocks and lines are generated on the opponent's board every 3 lines completed.
