Tetris: Attack on the iqpi.io platform is Tetris online with attack lines: a game against a live opponent or solo play. You can play for free or rated for money (Buy-in in IQPIC), and join prize tournaments in this discipline.

Created in the same form as Classic: /game/create/tetris → mode “Tetris: Attack”. Regular stacking without attacks — in the Tetris article.

Below — attack types, starting level, how lines work, how the winner is decided, and where to view rating.

The game runs in the personal account (lk).

What this mode is

In the form /game/create/tetris, field “Game mode”:

• “Tetris: Attack” — this article;
• “Tetris: Classic” → Tetris.

For Attack you also set:

• “Starting level” — 1–50 (higher means faster piece drop; form default is 10);
• “Attack type” — random / targeted / bot attack.

There is no “play vs bot” mode like in chess (Stockfish). There is a solo game (see below).

How to create a game vs a human

1. Open /lk → Tetris vs human (or /game/create/tetris).
2. Under “Game mode” select “Tetris: Attack”.
3. Set “Starting level” (1–50).
4. Choose “Attack type” (see below).
5. Game type: unrated or rated + Buy-in.
6. Create the game → /game/tetris/{hash}.
7. Wait for an opponent or invite via challenge / link.

Before sitting down, the opponent may see the conditions: level and attack type.

Fee details: Rated games.

Solo play

1. /lk → solo (or /game/create/tetris?solo=1).
2. Mode “Tetris: Attack”.
3. Attack type — bot attack only (random and targeted are unavailable in solo).
4. Create the game and play immediately.

Solo is always unrated. UI hint: “In solo Tetris Attack only bot attack is available.”

This is not a duel against a configurable bot like in chess, but a solo game with automatic attack lines.

Attack types

In a duel with random and targeted attack, you yourself “feed” the opponent with lines by clearing your rows (see below).

How attack lines work

Sending to the opponent (random / targeted)

When clearing lines in a duel:

Lines are added at the bottom of the well (the field shifts up), with “holes” (empty cells) per attack-type rules.

Bot attack

Players do not send attacks to each other from their clears. Instead, the platform periodically adds identical (or same-type) attack lines to both.

Burning attack lines

As the score grows, attack lines can be burned: for every +1000 points, one bottom attack line burns (in UI / notifications — burning an attack line).

Level and speed

Current speed depends on starting level and score growth (level grows with score, upper bound around 50). Higher level — faster drop.

Points for clears — as in Classic: 1 line — 100, 2 — 300, 3 — 700, 4 — 1500.

---

How the winner is determined

As in Tetris (Classic):

Attacks do not change the win criterion (“who drowned first”), but strongly affect who gets game over sooner and how many points they score.

---

Rated game and Buy-in

1. “Rated game” + Buy-in amount in IQPIC.
2. Limit — by account level and balance.
3. Win / loss / draw — by general rated-game rules.

Skill is written to the Tetris: Attack category, not classic Tetris.

How it differs from Classic

---

Typical scenarios

A. Duel with random attack

1. “Tetris: Attack” → level → “Random attack” → unrated or with Buy-in.
2. Clear 2+ lines to raise the opponent’s well.
3. Win — whoever has more points after the end.

B. Bot attack together

1. Type “Bot attack” — lines periodically arrive for both.
2. In such a duel, room chat is disabled.

C. Solo practice

1. ?solo=1 → Attack → bot attack automatically.
2. Without Buy-in — practice speed and burning lines.

D. Tournament

1. Catalog → Tetris (Attack) → register per event rules.
