About Monochrome Rush
Monochrome Rush is a minimalist, fan-made, browser-based block stack built around a single high-gravity mode. It aims to be quick to launch, easy to read, and addicting to replay—no extra menus or clutter.
Core Mode
- One relentless run: high gravity, short lock delay, instant hard drops, and no softening between levels.
- Minimal visuals: clean grid, legible text, and audio cues that stay out of the way.
- Quick starts: open the page, set a level, and you are already in the flow.
Controls
- Arrow keys to move; space for a hard drop that locks on landing.
- Rotate with "Z" and "X"; use "C" to store a shape for tight situations.
- Instant restart from the overlays so practice never slows down.
Systems Explained
- Rotation: A modern kick system lets pieces nudge off walls or stack edges so spins can tuck into corners.
- Randomizer: Seven distinct shapes are shuffled in a bag so each set appears before repeating, keeping droughts rare.
- Line clears: Filling every cell in a row wipes it instantly; back-to-back clears and clean stacks reward precision.
Glossary for Newcomers
- Quad stacker roots: The game uses four-cell pieces; matching them into full rows keeps the board low.
- Corner twists: Rotating a shape into a tight nook can trigger bonus scoring when the corners are mostly covered.
- Why it feels hard: High gravity and fast locks mean every move counts—perfect for mastery chasers.
