Stage Mode: 60 Puzzle Levels
Stage mode turns falling blocks into a puzzle campaign. Each of the 60 levels starts with a prefilled board and a line target. Reach the target to unlock the next level. Your progress and best score per level are saved.
How Stage mode works
- Prefilled boards. Every level starts with rows of wood already in place, with gaps cut through them in a set pattern.
- Line target. The counter at the top shows how many lines you have cleared and how many you need. Hit the target and the level is complete.
- Unlocking. Levels open one at a time. When you come back, the level picker opens at the furthest level you have reached.
- The same board every time. Each level's layout is fixed, so you can learn it and come back with a plan.
How the levels get harder
| Levels | Gap shape | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Straight | A straight shaft down the board. A gentle start. |
| 5–9 | L-shaped | The gap turns a corner, so a straight bar no longer fits all the way. |
| 10–14 | Snake | The gap winds left and right as it goes down. |
| 15–19 | Island | Gaps break up into separate pockets. |
| 20–29 | Mixed | L, snake and island levels in rotation. |
| 30–60 | Twin and mixed | Twin levels add two narrow shafts that drift across the board. From level 45 every gap is a single cell wide. |
Later levels also start with more rows filled, ask for more lines and drop pieces faster.
Tips for Stage mode
- Study the gaps first. Before the first piece lands, trace where the gaps run. That path is your plan for the level.
- Prefilled rows are your fastest lines. They are almost complete. Filling a gap that runs through several of them clears them in one go.
- Use cascades in the snake and island levels. When a row clears, loose blocks above it fall into the pockets below and can finish more rows.
- For twin levels, fill one shaft at a time. Splitting pieces between both shafts leaves two half-finished columns.
- Replay for a better score. Your best score on each level is saved, and the layout never changes, so a second attempt with a plan usually beats the first.
