Power-ups
For every 5 bricks placed, a power-up appears. The preview window is showing the next brick as well as an appearing power-up. If the line containing the power-up is removed, the power-up enters the power-up array. Once every slot is taken, no additional power-up can be received, until you use a power-up or drop one from the array. When used, the power-up vanishes from the array and the remaining ones are refilling the gap. You can power-ups drop power-ups from the array by pushing the SPACE bar or R-STRG. (see pictures 1 and 2)
