How co-op works

The co-op Connected mode is the centerpiece, pairing up to three players against escalating boss encounters that demand synchronized clearing and smart use of shared zone abilities. Competitive modes include Zone Battle, where players bank lines and unleash them to disrupt opponents, plus Score Attack and Classic Score variants that reward speed and efficiency. Both local split-screen and online cross-platform matchmaking are supported across every mode.
Each session builds on the timeless Tetris loop while offering session-based brackets and leaderboards that encourage repeated runs. Whether you're coordinating clears with a duo or racing for the highest score in a party lobby, the multiplayer suite adds cooperative teamwork and head-to-head tension to the single-player foundation.
