I think your download got corrupted. Try it again.

Hey, nice game definitely more fun to play than all the other tetris games I've tried for the zune so far. Funny how the title is tetris spelled backwards

I might consider it, however, saving stuff is very slow (which is why there is major lag when a game ends or the controls configuration is being saved). This means that on-the-fly saving wouldn't work too well, and any other sort of saving wouldn't provide much protection against crashes, automatic shutdowns, battery drain, or much of anything else.

It might be a good idea to allow resuming a game after pressing the back button though, if that's what you mean. I'll probably put that in 0.5.

Well, that would be good enough for me, although being able to load a game would be nice, I do see what your saying with the lag, and such... but the main reason I usually quit is to change the music, so if you added the ability to go back to menu, that'd be good. Sounded confusing when I typed it >.< but w/e.

I honestly did not notice that. Wow, I feel dumb.

I agree, being able to get to the menu without restarting would be great.

Whoops, sorry about that! Posted there with pic, let me know what you think.

Loving the high scores man This game rules keep up the good work. Do you think you could add volume and changing songs when you pause? I think this would be easier way around the problem soccerfreak24 mentioned, rather than programming a way to save your game(has that even been done yet?). Anyway, once again great game, definitely my favorite so far

I have a few questions..

1. Do the high scores and game controls save when you exit?
   
2. How do you save your high score?
   
3. Is it possible to make the 'Rotate' control less sensitive on the touch pad. I mean can you make it so you have to touch it every time you want to rotate rather than holding it?

Great Game.

Great Game.

Yes, they save and you can see them everytime you launch the game and also clear the highscores. The highscores save automatically when you finish the game.

[mikenike]

hey the high score board works really well.

great job man

[Noobtube]

Cool looking forward to the high scores.

[rpgoof]

Other than the bug fixes (which I haven't really found any other than the laggy saving and such) I think there is barely anything you could add, the game seems complete. You just need some innovative additions to it, like say, an option to start a level with x lines partially filled with blocks to add to the challenge instead of starting off with a clean slate.

[Rustybuster]

he could add puzzle mode, multiplayer, mission mode, etc.
there's a lot that can be done to tetris, rpgoof

fantastic game as it stands, but some new stuff would be brilliant.
my high score is 70160 (level 14)

[DareckT]

My high score is 317640 Level 26 o.o'

It's official I AM a freak.

End of story

It should be included, but if not Google it. It is a font that comes with Vista

Could you restart Visual Studio and try to compile?

If it doesn't work, pls. file a bug in the bug tracker and paste in everything from the Output window (go to View --> Output and copy everything after trying to build).

[sargent ceacker]
