 ## How to play
 
-### General
+Choose which pieces you want to play with and stack them up until you either win or top out!  
+Make full lines to make them dissapear.  
+Use the different spins to kick the pieces in spot you couldn't imagine were attaignable!  
+Each gamemode has its own objective, but you can play as you wish.  
 
 You can see and change in-game keybinds in the **SETTINGS** section of the main menu!  
-All of in-menu navigation is done with the arrow keys, the Enter key and the Escape key. Theses are unmutable keybinds.  
-You will find some more infos about the Rotation System and the scoring in the **INFO** section of the main menu.  
-If you want to know more details about the generation and classification of polyominoes, [check the documentation](/doc/)!
