Play FAQ

I feel the pace is too slow/fast; can I adjust the default speed to adjust the pace as I enjoy the game?

Yes, players can choose among five initial starting line counts that affect your progression speed from faster to slow in the Marathon mode: the bigger the line count number where you play starting at, the tougher (and subsequently quicker) the challenge from the get-go is and a faster rise of speed.

What are the differences between Marathon, Sprint, and Ultra modes?

Marathon is classic, where you start with a predetermined number of lines and then continue as you clear increasing difficulty; the goal is long-distance survival up to the top line count you set. In Sprint mode, the target is to race against the clock, scoring as many points as your highest in a short timeframe like two or three minutes per session (there's also a separate setting in Sprint mode to make it harder by restricting total moves under a time limit). Lastly, in Ultra, as time is limited exactly to a fixed 3-minute total, you aim for the maximum achievable points in that same time, after which game-over regardless of the speed of progress, offering intensive action.

Can more than one player co-play Tetris DX on the same console?

Tetris DX is for solo only; there is no co-play in this version.
