Hack description

This hack turns off both score and line count increases, keeping both values at zero throughout play. Without line count, the game will never speed up as you play. Set the speed you want on the select screen, then play for as long as you like (or as long as you can). The lines counter changes only affect game Type A; Type B still starts at 25 and counts down as usual. This hack also turns off the score count (in both game types) to remove the distraction.

There's already a much more thorough hack adapting NES Tetris into a meditative tool (https://retrohackers.net/hack-details.php?id=5595/); this new hack represents a minimal replication of its core functionality for the Game Boy.
