Overall Differences
Title Screen
Proto | Final |
---|---|
- The title screen has rougher color cycling that doesn't always fully cover areas. Much like v1.0, the overall game isn't adjusted to run at the same speed on all machines.
- The copyright info and creator info are all maroon-colored and are in different positions, with the line containing AcademySoft's credit being much shorter.
- Line clears are instanteous.
Proto | Final |
---|---|
The level select prompt uses a different message and positioning (the leftmost middle, roughly).
Gameplay Screen
Proto | Final |
---|---|
- The Help and Statistics sections are in different positions.
- The statistics for Tetriminos are colored blocks, rather than using each piece's shape.
- The score number is gray. The final changed it to brown, presumably to help it stand out more.
- The dark blue bullets are missing from the matrix.
Game Over

The lettering is dark blue with a black background.
Odd Point Subtraction Feature
For some reason, there is a feature in which if you press Numpad 6 during gameplay, your points will be subtracted - or if you have none, your score will be negative.
