Dopamine Drop: Block Puzzle

A bar is always 4 cells.

In this game the straight piece only ever comes 4 cells long. Nothing longer exists.
Want a long one? Bank it. 4 + 4 + 4 = 12.

What you bank survives a line clear.
So there is only one question left: fire now, or hold out for twelve?

[BANKING]
When a bar drops, the HOLD button lights up. Each one adds 4, then 8, 12, 16, up to 20.
While you bank, fill the rows and leave a single column open.
The longer you hold, the more lines go at once.

[THE RUSH BUTTON]
You never have to rotate a long bar into place by hand. Press it and the banked bar
drops itself into the best slot on the board.
The number on the button tells you how many lines it would clear right now.
Can you wait until it says 12?

[ONLY WHAT IT NEEDS]
RUSH spends only what it needs. Whatever is left stays banked.
With nothing to clear it lays the bar flat instead, low and without holes.

[RANKED RUN]
Stage 1 through 12 lines, eleven stages in one sitting. Three separate boards:
· Speed — time to finish. Ads and pauses do not count, only real play
· Dopamine — finishers who never cleared a single line by hand. Ranked by score
· Best hit — most lines cleared in one shot. You do not have to finish
Die once and you can retry that stage. The clock rewinds to where the last stage ended.

[PLAY A FRIEND]
Send a link. That is it. The match starts the moment they tap it.

[REALTIME VERSUS]
Match with anyone online. Lines you clear pile garbage onto their floor.
One line sends nothing. You have to save up and hit hard.
Twelve lines sends twenty — the whole board. It ends right there.
Elo rating and leaderboards attached.

[STAGES]
The target climbs from 2 lines to 12. Gravity gets meaner as you go.
Clear twelve at once and it is over. Or is it? Bank all twenty and the board is wiped.

[FOR YOU IF]
· You want a puzzle where holding back is the skill
