It still won't be that fast, and you'll be able to clear a lot of lines (I think it's 80 lines on level 7) before speed increases. Should give you a nice boost in score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can handle the speed at level 9 (which is still kind of slow), you can clear 100 lines before moving on to level 10. It's actually one of the better starts for high scores. Although the top players usually start at 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Oh, and you get _way_ more points per Tetris on higher levels, so there's that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozone212 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 How do you get to level 18, I'm locked at 1-9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozone212 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 level 18 is impossible the only way you got that high score? two possibilities 1: You are god's second cousin 2: Game genie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my score with a level 9 start, but I have gotten similar scores on level 18. It just takes practice. It's all muscle memory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozone212 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I can't get any more points, nor will i do so. If the following games are picked, I will not participate Thunder and Lightning Adventures of Lolo series Fire and Ice The Punisher Castlevania (any game) Adventures of Bayou Billie Any sports game that is NOT baseball simulator 1000 regardless of what is suggested, all I ask is for a fair competition. If anyone has knowledge of the game completely or dare, I say home field advantage, I ask that they be barred from competing. If only to keep it fair for others (and myself) to catch up because let's face it, I'm on the lower rung and Feel like crap enough already. If I have to do higher difficulties to stay competitive, I might as well not play at all. some of these game traumatized me as a child, so keep this in mind Edited February 28, 2022 by Frozone212 Bored of playing already, starting to get pissed off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want those who are already good at a game to compete against me so I can have a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
