Features:
- SRS rotation system with 180° spins
- Tetris® guideline scoring system and kick table
- Zone meter similar to that of Tetris® Effect
- Adjustable controls including DAS, ARR, and soft drop speed
- No line clear delay
Currently supported game modes:
- Journey: Try to stay alive and get the highest possible score throughout fifteen levels of increasing gravity by successfully clearing 150 lines without topping out.
- Sprint: Try to clear 40 lines as fast as possible.
- Zen: No objective, just stack to your heart's content. Topping out in this mode simply resets the matrix so you can continue stacking.
Details on the zone mechanic:
- Clear 40 lines to fill up the zone meter
- When zone is activated, the matrix glows blue and you have 20 seconds to clear as many lines as possible to increase your score dramatically!

Notes:
- In Pytris Effect, the top out condition is determined by whether the spawning space of the next incoming tetromino is occupied
- In contrast to guideline Tetris® games and other variants, while the matrix is 20 rows tall, each tetromino spawns in the 2 rows above the matrix
- Current music and sound effects are borrowed from Tetris Online Japan and are subject to change in later developments
