Nicely done.

Clean, simple (or at least you make it look simple, which is impressive), no major flaws, not very buggy.

The worst thing wrong with it is the controls for me.
I would like the Down arrow to accelerate/drop the blocks, this would remove the need for the space key, which then means I could play it one handed (fnar).

After you finish a game, the restart timer (3, 2, 1 ...) doesn't clear properly, so you end up overwriting the text, which is messy.

When you get a Tetris (4 lines at once) nothing special happens, which is a missed opportunity.

Oh, and your website is nice too.

Thats pretty good, nice and clean feel. Really needs some music. Also sometimes you can rotate the blocks, and some of squares overwrite the other squares when they shouldn't. Just try going near the blocks and rotating. Also I had one occurence when the blocks fell down as a row was deleted, but one of the blocks stayed floating in mid-air. Very odd.

Thanks for the feedback. Especially thanks to Hamish McHaggis and STE.
Released new version 0.47 today with fixes and additions.

Fixes:
The countdown timer no longer overwrites itself.
Temporary fix for the rotate into other blocks bug.
(the hanging block bug should also be fixed with that).

Additions and changes:
Added simple hiscore saving.
The spacekey no longer has any function and..
the downkey replaced the Spacekey function.
Added a little gameover graphics instead of the Text,"Game Over".
Added copyright info on the titlescreen.
The download size reduced a bit, 0.4 mb to be exact.

Download the new version from: http://monz.adsl.dk/tks/

Cool!

Tetris should always be a single handed game - leaves the other hand free to sit over Alt+Tab for when the boss walks past.

We have a handsome little suite of DBPro puzzle games these days - just goes to show how much simpler game ideas are still best .

You should however, call it Tetrix instead.
It's not like I have some crazy plan to end every DB puzzle game in 'trix (ok I do!), but apparantly it's illegal to end your game name in 'tris. Nintendo's thank you to the crazy Russian that did'nt think to charge for it.

Great. I like tetris games

Feels really nice. I'm strangely addicted to such games (I remember the hours I lost at Twintrix )

in the new version 0.47 its now a singlehand game
About calling it Tetrix. I searched on google and found out that there already are at least one game using the name Tetrix. So that wont be any good to call my game Tetrix. So, so far i will stick with calling it TKS Tetris. I haven't had Nintendo tapping on my shoulder yet

Nice!

Nice and clean and the music and sound effects are functional which is all they should be leaving you to concentrate on gameplay.

My only gripe is that you can't rotate blocks when they touch right hand side which is not right.

Keep up the good work.


Boo!

Very good, one of the best tetris remakes i playecd, tho 2 problems:
1) try providing a zip version without the install, as install leave lots of mess behind

2) might want to change the name, else you'll get a unwelcome email soon.
