I disagree. This is a great Tetris variant.

The shape of the falling tiles is random. Whether a tile shape is easy or hard depends on what it is falling over.

I think the 19×19 go board format is an improvement.

Just as in other Tetris variants, you might be challenged to avoid getting into problem situations, and, if you do make a mistake, you are challenged to fix it.

I think the speed of the falling tiles is fine in fast mode.

this is just so bad….

you have too many difficult shapes compared to easy shapes (maybe 75% hard shapes and 25% easy shapes). peices moves too fast, the board is as wide as it’s tall, not like in tetris, makes the game hard for beginners.
there are misstakes that cannot be corrected, which makes the game very flawed, you cannot make any big moves, you’re bound to take small points since 1 misstake can lock away 50% of the board permanently….

this game is not anything like tetris, remove the name “tetris” from it. I do not support that people takes a good game with a good concept and makes bullshit out of it.

// disappointed and offended player.

I noticed scores of zero are not being recorded.

I had a couple of games recently in which I reached a level above 20, but I was in one color mode, and ended up with a score of zero. (Had zero not been the minimum, it would have been negative.)

Wouldn’t the worse possible piece to start with be an “S” or “Z”, then, after that, the same piece as before? That is, all “S” or all “Z” ?

Hello, I have just completed a game which seems similar to the one you wanted to make. Please have a look if you have the chance. iJuggling

Stereograms never worked for me. (Unless I use a stereoscope.)

Yes! Florence and I actually saw Kooza in Chicago (before it came to mpls), because we happened to be there when it opened. Anthony Gatto is widely regarded as the best numbers juggler in the world. Definitely amazing stuff.

Martin,
Did you, by chance, catch Cirque du Soleil when it was in town? There was this totally amazing juggler, Anthony Gatto. I mean, it was unbelievably awesome.
