How to erase blocks:
1. Completely fill in one horizontal line.
2. When the blocks are put in one horizontal line, the blocks in that line will disappear.
3. All remaining blocks will drop down.

When you power on, “CONTINUE?” will appear. If you select YES, game play will resume. If you select NO, saved data will be erased. Keep in mind that you can only save one game at a time.

If the blocks pile up to the top of the game field, the game is over.
