Hot damn, when I first saw this I was like "Well it's a prototype, I'll check it out and move on" Looked at the clock, played for about 15 minutes straight, got to level 7, 17,000 points, and was pretty surprised at how simple and fun it is. I'm a tetris fanatic, and I always like seeing new takes on the old classic. I think with improved visuals and improved move recognition algorithms, this could be very well polished and ready for sale on mobile markets, great job here! Love the concept, and I think with a finalized execution, this game would succeed - it's one of those "Why didn't I think of that?!" type games (as I'm a programmer and mobile developer myself).
Wow, thanks, so good to hear! Really appreciate this, and those improvement ideas were our thoughts exactly almost a year ago :) - so we have polished the visuals, we have improved the move recognition algorithms, and it's just days from release on iPhone and iPad.
You can check on the improved visuals in the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkLRuKFC7gY but you will have to check the move recognition improvements yourself. :)
Thanks again, for making my (and the whole Dawn of Play team's) day! :)

Feels like a larger board than the iPhone version. I don't feel the same sense of urgency either. It probably just takes longer to ramp-up the difficulty.
It is larger. Larger even then on the iPad - this here is the "classic" 10x20 grid. It most likely does take longer, the curve has been improved since. Or time flies when playing the final Dream of Pixels. :)

It seems like your algorithm for move recognition is a bit buggy on the far right side, I saw many moves I should have been able to make, but were never offered them. It was most irritating when I was relying on those moves and waiting for the specific pieces, and when they came, could not complete my plan. Great concept though! Keep up the good work.

nice concept. after 30 seconds of confusion its a fun and innovative game.
there might be some problems with the game not recongising every possible move, sometimes i wasnt allowed to click a part which i thought should be valid
Thanks! Yea, we fixed a lot of that recognising in the final Dream of Pixels, added support for T-spins, L-spins, wall-kicks and such. This prototype, though, supports just the basic rules, so some times it may seem a bit rigid on which tetromino it allows or not. I'd love to get some screenshots from you (or anyone!), if you care to, about what you're expecting to be allowed! Thanks!

Love this game! Bought the iPad game afterwards and still like this version a lot better. Can we have this simple board with extra rows in the iPad game as well? Oh... and save some local scores on iPad game as well... don't require us to use the feint.
Hey, Djasper, sorry, no pause, had it on my TODO, but didn't make it in. I hope I will be able to update it with the pause button and auto-pause on switch, too. In the mean time, we just launched the final on iOS today, and that one has a pause button. :P :)
