Yes, but I've been rather busy. Hold your horses for the close-to-final release.

I think you should make the selected blocks more easy to recognize. Like make it more flashy or some graphics that surround it. That'll be great.
EDIT: Also, there should be a bookmark/save feature where you can quit the game and go back where you left off. And be able to go back to the Zune menu.
That's not possible until microsoft addresses the restarting issue. It's not my doing.

i'm intrigued...playing now...
Alright. It's really good, but my suggestions are to increase the speed like people have suggested, but to also make it a bit more noticable when you're selecting. Most of the time, i couldn't tell what i had selected and so on. Instead of having them slowly flashing, i think you should have a thick line surrounding it (like when it's selected, only thicker) and have a bright color that stands out. Then when you select it, it changes color or something. That would make it a bit less confusing. But other than that, I think it's great!
I've killed so many hours playing this game in classes it isn't even funny. This is an extremely well put-together release, even for an alpha. You guys really put a lot of time into it and I think I speak for most of the Zune game users when I say we appreciate it greatly. The only things that even come /close/ to...well, not being excellent, are the selection function and the progress bar. The bar goes off the screen at about 180 points, and the selection is very light, making it hard to find the cursor at times. All in all, a great release, and I'm looking forward to further updates.
New beta version released! Check it out, it's alot better than the alpha (in my humble opinion).

Nearly all graphical issues have been fixed, including the addition of a new menu that allows music to be played during the game. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to allow the player to reach the main menu from in-game, but there's really no point to that anyways.
yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! yes!!!
Music playback was highly needed. Well done, Mboy.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out Netrix. It was fixed in the earlier version, I must have been modifying older code.
