Nice job on your Tetris clone. I think I'm the only one who hasn't made one yet. :-) The pieces have a different look which is good. The game-play seemed pretty solid. I didn't notice anything wrong with it. I would however add music and sound effects, because I think they're very important to make a game seem complete. But I'm sure you know that, which is probably part of why you said it was "playable, no more no less" (<-- might not be word for word quote). Did you consider increasing the size of the main game window (where the blocks are falling)? It could be enlarged a bit for your next version, but that's just my opinion. Anyways, I think you did a great job on your game. Now I want to start making my own Tetris clone. :-)

Great Job!

Thanks for comment, glad you liked it.

I am gonna implement sound and music later, I just wanted to get this early release out to get some feedback.

What do you mean with bigger playfield? The resolution or to size?

very good. i am just starting out and have yet to make anything really, but it looks good (blox). only thing i'd suggest is when a line clears, is it possible to make that link blink a few times before just disappearing, i know that'd be a lot of code to add but anyways, other than that, and the sound, i'd say great job.
