Controls: keyboard and touch
Reliable controls leave more attention for reading the board and planning the next piece.
Move and rotate
Use the left and right arrows to move. Use the up arrow, X, or Z to rotate. Near a wall or existing blocks, the game attempts a sensible wall-kick position.
Soft drop and hard drop
The down arrow accelerates a piece while leaving time to adjust it. Space hard-drops and locks a piece immediately, so use it once the landing is confirmed.
Pause and touch
P or Escape pauses and resumes a run. On mobile, use on-screen buttons or swipe sideways and downward, then tap the board to move, drop, and rotate.
