How it plays

How does Fintris play?

Fintris uses a falling-block puzzle format. Pieces descend into a rectangular well, and the player positions or rotates them to form complete horizontal lines.

Completed lines are cleared to create space, while poorly placed pieces build the stack upward. The objective is to continue clearing lines for as long as possible without allowing the stack to reach the top of the playfield.

Detailed information about the DOS version's exact piece set, game modes, scoring, speed progression, and pause behavior is not reliably documented.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Fintris?

Plan placements around the current shape of the stack and avoid creating isolated gaps that are difficult to fill. Keep the upper part of the well as open as possible so later pieces remain usable.

Specific scoring thresholds, speed settings, and version-specific tactics are not reliably documented.
