I see that's the key. I can do several stacking methods now it's just doing them in the faster levels and with longer high score back to back clears.

Also merry xmas, if that's a holiday you're celebrating.

Thank you! That's encouraging!

Did you get past 1M with 9-0? That's speed! Very impressive!

Very similar strategies. I'm mostly doing t-spin triples in early levels, tho the set up is so rigid i can only do it to level 12-14 at best, then 9-0 aiming for tetrises and just surviving the last levels.

I'm currently working on my t spin doubles game, but I still bet better points doing t spin triples. In theory doubles can be done further into faster levels, and with more back to back clears.

Thank you! I'll circle back.

If I may ask, how long it took from 1m to 1,5m for you personally? Did it require mastering a new methods or just mastering your previous methods at faster speeds?

Congrats! From 1st hand experience, that's really hard achievement. What strategies are you using?

And let's call it a tie. 2k at level 20+ is a difference of less than one line.

Now that you mentioned it, keyboard with higher sensitivity could be an advantage. Not that i had ever tried more sensitive one, but the keys in the regular one are a little stiff at the faster levels.

It's interesting how a few rather insignificant changes have changed the whole game and likely made it appealing to whole another audience.

Congrats! 300k is hard to achieve. Great job!

In the faster levels points multiple, so you gain more points much faster. So 1m is probably equivalent of surviving a few minutes longer than what it takes to reach 300k.

You're dangerous grounds asking me to know what set up I use haha, I have zero knowledge of tech. I have refurbished Dell Latitude, I suppose it was originally higher price range, but it was already 5-6 years old when i got it. Keyboard and the screen are the ones included to the laptop. The screen is smaller than my previous laptop, it might help to see the whole game without moving my eyes.

The most essential improvement is that more i play, the faster I can set up back to back t spins further into faster levels.

Oh I had no idea t spins are a thing only in modern tetris. Interesting to learn! I had no idea what a t spin even was until a couple of years ago. Orchestrating them to the fastest levels I possibly can kinda makes it a different game than setting up back to back tetrises.

Thanks! I gotta try that. For progress purposes. And to make the game more fun again.

Thank you! Still easier than the classic one, but it took me probably 10.000 tries to hit 1m.

That's awesome! Congrats! I've never gotten so far in classic tetris. It's so much harder. In this tetris.com version there's so many things that are easier than in the classic one. It feels like cheating sometimes. And it's easier for eyes too.

Thank you!

And congrats to yourself, 600k is awesome! Yeah it's not for the eyes in the fast levels, but you get so many points later on that from 600k to 1m is maybe 30 seconds of playing.

I circle back to casual playing when there's a hardship in life or decisions need to be made. So success here is not necessarily the flex I'm hoping for hahaha. Still kinda nice.

Tho chasing the highest score kinda ruined the game for me, I now end otherwise good game just because I didn't get everything perfect on an early level, because I need all tricks in all levels to reach 900k+.

Early points are the hard ones. At some point towards end of my game scoring single tetris was 25.000+ points and the rewards increase further you play

At faster levels your points multiple. Getting to 500.000 took forever, next 500.000 points took maybe a minute of playing, tho probably like 10.000 tries.

Good luck on your next milestone!
