Flash Point is the second in Sega's trilogy of Tetris-centric games, preceded by their own version of Tetris and later followed by Bloxeed. Some players consider Flash Point to be a spiritual predecessor to Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura Eternal Heart.

Ojama Mode

Ojama mode is the only featured mode of Flash Point. Players are given a pre-made structure of blocks and must use tetriminos to clear all the lines containing a flashing block. When all of these special blocks are removed, the player is taken to the next board, and must continuously clear board after board until they top out or complete the 100th board. Leveling up through line clears is still possible.

Flash Point contains many of the same game-specific details as Tetris.

Notes

• The game calculates the total number of times a particular board was played, and of the attempts made, which attempts successfully completed the board.
• Line clears do not award points. However soft drops still give points.
• In addition to the regular DAS for left and right moves, this game has a DAS for Soft Drop to aid players slide or overhang the pieces into tight spots.
• This game contains an unused Normal Mode that closely mimics Sega's 1988 Tetris. In this mode the player plays an empty board for an endless survival. Line clears award points, DAS is slightly slower than Ojama Mode and Soft Drop DAS is disabled.
