INSTRUCTIONS

Rotate and shift the falling blocks to place them into the gaps below.  Once
a complete row is filled, it will disappear! Fill & clear as many rows as you
can before the stack of blocks fills up the container. 
See 'Set Controls' under
'Options' for the current keys to shift, rotate, and drop the blocks.

To gain more points, start at a higher level (as each row
completed is worth 500 points per level).  You advance one level per ten rows
completed. You can drop a falling piece at a much quicker rate by hitting the
drop key.  Fast dropped pieces score points as they drop as well as when they
hit the bottom. 

You control the movement of the falling
blocks with the keys on the keyboard. To change the keys which cause the
actions, click on the motion below that you want to change, and then hit the new
key for that motion. 
Shift Left:         'J'   Shift Right:        'K'   
Rotate:             'L'   Drop Block:         'L'
