If you press select, it hides the next piece

It is a feature, not a bug..

Ha, embarrassing. I must have hit the button in a Tetris daze. Ugh, either way, I figured it was time to hang up my controller for the night.

Tried it on level 7 this time so I could get farther and it paid off. Next up is level 8 and I think I will do just as good. Can't believe how much I've improved over just 4 days, I'm starting to understand the game and appreciate it more.

Edit: new score posted, old score 152,083

I made a slight modification to the rules where we would like all score submissions from here on out to have the picture taken on the "Congratulations" screen where you enter your name as opposed to the rocket blast off screen. Any scores submitted prior to this where the picture was taken at the rocket blast off screen are still acceptable.

I just wanted to point out that Uncle Tusk's score would have won him a free trip to Portland at the Classic Tetris World Championship Southern Qualifier, happening June 18th-19th in Dallas, Texas at the Let's Play Gaming Expo.


 

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Agreed.  Real question is do I possess enough skill/luck to actually get there?!?

My 171k took everything out of me plus some luck, I played for an hour and a half last night and couldn't pass that score , let alone hit 200.

It sounds like us sub 200k score bums need to form a support group

Seriously, I got 197k on my 2nd or 3rd try.  100 tries later and I've not cracked 150k again.  I played three times last night and got 146-147k every time ><

Try starting on level 5, it isnt as quick as the higher levels but you get more points for your tetris thank starting at level 0 or 1

Also, my wife has put in a dozen tries or so, and gotten 46-47k 3-4 times. She's as frustrated as I am haha

Its not just the speed getting quicker that throws me off even though I get a little nervous when the pieces drop faster,  noone ever talks about the color changing with the new levels , that messes with your head just as much, you start to associate a certain color with a shape then you have to figure out the new color scheme.

I also prefer level 10s color pattern the best

Would it be okay if I took the picture at the level select screen?
