Game Over

The game is over if any pieces touch the top row, and then a row shifts in from the bottom. You have until the row shifts in from the bottom to clear some pieces to get the top down. If you don't, it's game over.

After the game is over, if you got a high score, you are asked to enter your name. You are then presented with the High Score dialog, shown below.

If you press OK, you will either be returned to the game in progress, if you got there through File/High Scores, or you will be asked whether you wish to start a new game, if the game is over.

If you press "Clear Scores," you will be asked if you wish to clear all high scores, and warned that this action is irreversible. If you tell it to do so, then a set of dummy scores will populate your high scores box. These scores are all very low, so anyone should be able to beat them, and get on the high scores list.

Play Again?

After the High Scores dialog, if the game is over, you will be asked if you wish to play again. If you choose "Yes," a new game will be started. If you choose "No," the program will quit.
