Studio Audience: One of the few video games (arcade or otherwise) to try to emulate this trope.Speed Metal: The NES port's soundtrack by BügSük (Lx Rudis and Dave O'Riva).Also, there are three different versions of the four-note jingle that plays when you score a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal KLAX.

One-Word Title: Named after the sound of rolling tiles.You lose if you fail to catch a certain number of tiles (three, four or five, depending on how far you warped at your last chance) during a set of five waves, or if you fill the bin entirely without clearing enough tiles. To pass a level, you have to meet its requirements in order in (almost) each set of five waves: make a number of Klaxes, make a number of diagonal Klaxes, achieve a certain score, survive a set number of tiles, and make a number of horizontal Klaxes. So a minimum start-to-finish playthrough is 40 levels long. The game is 100 levels ("waves") in length, giving the player the opportunity to skip five or 10 of them every five levels, but never allowing you to skip past the 91st stage. Of such things, life-shattering events are made.
