WOW, I love the feedback I get here. MUCH better than newgrounds! I'll have to make a second version of the game with all these fixes. However, I did try to fix the falling block thing, when you make a horizontal group, the ones above fall, but the vertical groups were stubborn and I couldn't get that to work out.

I think Shikasta got it right. It's interesting, but has some issues. the piece dropping is the biggest. The other problem I ran into, is that there is no way to save yourself once you get past a few rows. Maybe make it disappear for any mulitple of 7. Would make the game more playable. Also, I ran into issues with the piece dropping. I would push down, and the next piece would zoom down also.

Thanks for the comments.
I did add the highscores. How do you tell if they are working?
When I tested the game, Flash said the API was working...

Very challenging, but a good game. You could add an easy mode where not only three sevens vanish, but also any three numbers that are same. 3/5

Interesting twist on an old concept, to result in a fairly entertaining game. The fact that I actually had to think (a bit) while playing this is a very definite plus :-)
However, there were a couple of things which I think might be improved:
At the moment, whenever two groups of three are created simultaneously (e.g. in a T shape), only one of the two is removed. Why not both?
A slightly bigger quibble is the way that the gravity in the game works. I can understand the idea of keeping the original tetris gravity, but I don't like the fact that when a horizontal group of three that has other blocks on it is removed the remaining blocks blocks just stay in the air. In tetris, whenever a line disappears, all the blocks on top fall down one square. Why not do the same here.
Overall not a bad game though; I would give it 3.5/5
