On June 1, 2019, the game is no longer available, with Tetris Battle also not available. List of items in Arena modeArena is the only live multiplayer mode. This mode features realtime multiplayer for 2-6 players.There are currently 20 player ranks and 4 player classes. The player is awarded points based on how well they do, how many lines of garbage they sent, and how many people they KO'd.Classes and Ranks in website version ClassRankTitleBronze1NewbieBronze2NoviceBronze3TraineeBronze4RookieBronze5ApprenticeSilver6JourneymanSilver7HobbyistSilver8PractitionerSilver9AchieverSilver10SpecialistGold11ProfessionalGold12VeteranGold13ExpertGold14EliteGold15ChampionPlatinum16GeniusPlatinum17ProdigyPlatinum18GuruPlatinum19MasterPlatinum20Grand MasterMaps in arena: Ultra2 minute mode. The goal is to score as many points as possibly you can within 2 minutes.In the Facebook version, the music is selectable from 5 songs.Only 'Midnite' music is available in the website version.This mode was formerly known as Tetris Solo, additionally, a 3 minute mode was also available.Level is not selectable and fixed to 1. Scores are not recorded if a player.T-Spin with wall kick is allowed even if it is played in Facebook version.However there are some graphical glitches. If you perform TST, only the score marker (the floating '+1600' text) will be displayed.Battle 2PIn Battle 2P, the player plays against a randomly selected opponent.
As in Sprint 5P mode, opponents are just the previously recorded play. The goal is to KO the opponent three times by forcing them to reach the top of the screen. Garbage lines don't have holes.
They can be removed by attacking the opponent. There is a two-minute time limit. If no one has won by the end of two minutes, the player that has been KO'd the most times loses.
If both have the same number of KO's, then the player that sent the most lines of garbage to the other player is the winner.Battle 6PIn this game, you play against five other opponents. There is a target that constantly alternates between the other five players. When garbage is sent by the player, the person that the target is current pointing at is the one that receives the garbage. KO's are awarded to the person that last sent garbage to the KO'd player, so timing of attacks is important in earning KO's. The last player standing after two minutes is the winner. If multiple people have not lost, then the player with the greatest difference in KO's to loses is the winner. If that is tied, then number of lines of garbage sent is the tie-breaker, as in Battle 2P.
By doing well, the players can earn stars, which promotes them to new ranks. Doing poorly will cause players to lose stars.You can select a map.
(the initial block patterns, as seen in TOJ)Website version only Game TuningsGame fine tuning is very expensive to be bought with tokens, but cheap with rubies. Very important, after purchasing these upgrades you must customize them on your profile page under 'My Tetris Style' Advanced for them to have actual effect. Two big upgrades are DAS and ARR. There are also two other upgrades which were designed to neutralize the effect of the 0.5 second line clear delay: IHS and IRS.
It is recommended first to get 5 ARR, then at least 3 DAS, then IRS and IHS. DAS - Delayed Auto Shift: controls how long it takes for a piece to start sliding once you hold left or right. The maximum (fifth) value may not be recommendable without excellent system performance, namely a good network and graphics card. ARR - Auto Repeat Rate: controls how fast the pieces slide left and right. IHS - Initial Hold System: allows holding the next piece during line clear delay. IRS - Initial Rotation System: allows the next piece to be rotated during line clear delay.Hidden MissionsAs you complete premium missions, which cost rubies, you fill in a grid which will unlock hidden missions once you complete a row.
Below are a list of the known hidden missions (acknowledgements to Bigwig, Pikiwedia, and Ravendarksky):. Row 1 HM For the Glory: Perform 10 Tetrises and 10 T-Spins in a single game of Marathon within 7 days. Row 2 HM Hotline Deluxe: complete 10 hotlines in a single game of ultra in 7 days.
Row 3 HM Limbo Bar Deluxe: Beat 3 games of 2p consecutively while staying under the limbo line.Comment: This one is annoying because by the third game the bar is so low it's easy to break above it. Losing a 2P game does not cause the 3 game consecutive to reset IIRC but breaking the limbo bar does. Row 4 HM Hotlines: Complete all 40 lines on the HotLine.Comment: While HMs 5 and 6 are currently unknown, this is reported to be the only mission that's fun or worthwhile.Hidden Missions 5 and 6 currently do not exist because Tetris Friends has halted the development of premium missions. Row 5 HM?.
Row 6 HM?Arena ModesAfter progressing beyond the silver class, the option of Expert Mode and Expert Mode + become available when making a room. A Purple E or E+ in the upper right of a game room will indicate the mode. It is highly advised that all games be played in Expert + mode.Expert Mode: Speed increase, consistent garbage shifting, and sequential targeting. Speed increase means higher gravity which means that tspins are quicker and therefore more powerful. Your tspins will start to misfire if you jump back and forth from these gravity modes.
The gravity in Sprint is the same as Expert mode while unfortunately Ultra, Battle 2P, Battle 6P, and even Sprint5P have that of normal gravity. Consistent garbage shifting means that every discrete combo or line(s) cleared will create a hole in a different spot. In normal mode you tend to get only one giant hole which tends to make gameplay silly. Sequential targeting means that the gunscope, which shows where your lines and/or items will be sent, will move predictably from left to right rather than randomly. But please be sportsman and do not abuse the targetting feature to bully other players.Expert + Mode: Contains all features of Expert Mode plus the following: garbage block, combo attack adjustments, and extended time. Garbage block was adapted from Tetris Online Japan (TOJ) and gives you an opportunity to combo to stall and/or counter your red bar. The red bar shows how many lines will be sent to you unless you combo.
When you lower the red bar to counter, your lines are absorbed and none are sent to other players and those lines will not be a part of your 'lines sent' total at the end of the match. Surplus lines after the red bar is eliminated will be sent. Combo attack adjustments.
As consistent garbage shifting makes combos much more deadly since they produce messy garbage, the number of lines sent from combos is slightly reduced as shown in the chart. Extended time. The hurry-up garbage begins at 2 minutes.SurvivalThis mode features similar objective as marathon, but has different goal system.Level advances by clearing every 10 lines.

Originally putting this huge chunk of text in the comments of threads, I decided to just make my own thread so that people could actually see this information.Multiplayer. Jstris: Basically a faster version of Tetris Friends.
You will usually go against 20-60 people in one big lobby where you can talk with others. Jstris's settings can be adjusted to fit your speed, and overall, it's very good for improving at 40 lines (Tetris Sprint) and at other game modes. This seems to be the new default place to go to for now.
Worldwide Combos: Like Jstris, Worldwide Combos also allows you to adjust your speed. However, Worldwide Combos, for now, is focused on 1v1 action. Because it is still in beta and is quite new, there's quite a small playerbase compared to Jstris, but you'll always find a match against either a bot (Rubot) or a person. Puyo Puyo Tetris (on Steam): Focuses on 1v1 action and is known for combining the games Puyo Puyo and Tetris (hence the title). You get a Rating (basically ELO), a Statewide rank, and a Worldwide rank, so it's quite competitive. However, the game, while faster than Tetris Friends (at low DAS/ARR levels), is slower than Jstris or Worldwide Combos.
Still quite fun to play though. However, it cost $19.99 on Steam (it's on Switch as well), and the matchmaking system on PC (compared to Switch and PS4) doesn't usually match you with people close to your rank (Best player vs Lowest Rating player match has happened before). Cultris 2: Like Jstris, this is highly focused on speed. In fact, the layout is very similar to Jstris with a FFA lobby and gamemodes to practice your skills. However, there's no hold feature, and the piece randomizer is different from standard SRS Tetris Guideline rules. Rather than focus on Tetrises and T-Spins, Cultris 2 focuses tremendously on combos.
Tetris Online Poland: Don't really use it that much, but it's like Tetris Friends but faster. Don't know much about it, so if anyone has info on it, then write something in the comments.Singleplayer.
Nullpomino: Great for training almost any skill, but can be a bit difficult to understand the different rulesets. Still, it's great if you don't have Internet.This is all I have for now. There's definitely more out there (like Blockbox and TetriNET), but these are the main ones (that are active). Hoped this helped!. I used Tetris Friends as a way to battle another friend of mine in Tetris.
She and I just use Mac laptops to play. Puyo Puyo Tetris on steam seems to be only available on Windows. I tried browsing around and without forking out a few hundred for console or a windows laptop, I’m not sure if there many options out there? If anyone has any suggestions I’d be super grateful.(Or if any of the options above work in the situation I’ve described, and I’m just super tired and didn’t notice, that’d be great too).
