You have to try to sacrifice some lines in order to get guaranteed lines.

I suspect that there's some pathological behavior in the game you can exploit to possibly get a line or more while giving up a line (not that I searched and identified one, I think I just got lucky on my second game because I don't play tetris much so didn't have much of a strategy to unlearn). It would be interesting if there a few of these behaviors that lead into each other, which could lead to a stable state of infinite lines.

Not being random means there might be more to exploit.

Yeah you can game it to fill in upper levels because it seems to greedily avoid letting you complete the next 1 row.

Here's a game with 7:

That was a fun watch. You're really good at this!

Absolutely love the playback feature.
