Each time you clear 2 lines, the game
speeds up.
•
After 32 cleared lines, it slows back down
again.
•
You can move a piece after it hits bottom,
but be quick about it!

How to Hold
the Game
•
The game has electronic wiring on
the top and bottom. If you touch it
with your fingers the game will do
crazy things! But it won’t hurt you
or the game.
•
The score is shown at the end the game.
So to play the game normally, you
should try to hold the game so not
to touch the wiring (much) on the
bottom. Hold it like this:

Falling Piece
(this is a
“Killer Left”)
The RetroGame is very safe.
Kids can safely touch any wire or
part on the board without
damaging
the
game
or
themselves!
However, the game has small
parts that can be removed.
Please keep the game away from
very small children.
If the game starts to operate
erratically, the batteries are
probably getting weak. The game
eats batteries. Sorry about that!

Want to slow down the game?
Use your finger to touch the

2007
•
Each time a line is cleared, you get 100
points.
The Retris robot is out to
defeat you! It knows one
thing, and one thing only,
how to drop pieces on you! Can
you defend yourself? Sure you
can! But for how long? Show the
Retris-bot who is boss!
The pieces come in randomly, so you
need luck to win!
•
How To Play
•
Each time a piece successfully moves
down, you get 10 points.
Special thanks to:
There’s no “winning” in Retris. You just
try to get the highest score.
For assembling the PCBs!

RIGHT

Try to fill the ROWs. They’ll disappear
when you do, moving the other dots down.

Here is a list of the pieces the Retris-bot
will attempt to drop on you! Although it
selects what piece to drop randomly,
some pieces have higher odds of being
dropped.
For example, the odds that “The Filler” will
be dropped is 2 in 16. This means that on
average you’ll get “The Filler” 2 times for
each 16 pieces dropped.
“The
Filler” 2:16
“Big
Filler” 3:16
The 2-block Big Filler is
very useful for filling in long
tubes, though it’s
sometimes a pain when you
need a flat piece.
“Flat
Filler” 3:16
“Big
Tube” 1:16
The Big Tube is useful when
you need to fill in a bunch of
lines at once. Though it can
be a killer near the top of the
display!
“FLAT
Dude” 1:16
“Killer
Left” 2:16
Unfortunately, you’ll see a lot
of these. On the bright-side,
they can fill-in a single hole
below. Much better than
their cousins “Yikes” & “Bob”.
“Killer
Right” 2:16
“Yikes” 1:16
This piece will mess you up
every time. It’s just as bad
as its brother piece over
there
“Bob”
1:16
This is a great piece! It can
be used to fill in anywhere.
Remember that it can slide
under already set pieces!
This is one of the pieces
you’ll see most. It can fill-in
holes that get you the
Clear-Display bonus. It can
also slide under set pieces.
Flat Dudes are usually quite
harmless, except when they
force you to cover up lower
holes!
Just like its brother, this killer
can mess up your plans.
Remember though, that you
can fill-in the hole by sliding
a piece under this one.
Just like its brother “Yikes”,
this piece will mess you up
every time. You always get it
when you don’t want it!
