• When you have a randomly generated blocks piece, you have options to rotate color and change direction of the piece by either clicking buttons on the Gameboard or using arrow keys on the keyboard. The right and left arrows on the keyboard are for changing the piece direction to right and left, respectively; the up and down arrows are for rotating color to left and right, respectively. In both cases, the right direction corresponds to clockwise rotation and left to anticlock-wise.
  
  
• The orientation of the piece should be arranged in such a way that once you drag the piece on to the board, it should have the best oppotunity to have the unit block match the color of the adjacent unit block or blocks, when three or more unit blocks adjacent to each other (either in a row, a column or a diagonal) have the same color, you gain points, each unit block is worth 100 points.
  
  
• You have to finish dragging of each new generated piece onto the gameboard within certain time frame. There are four levels of this game:
  1. Easy: 60 sec;
  2. Normal: 45 sec;
  3. Hard: 30 sec;
  4. Devil: 15 sec.
