VERSION 1.0 BETA:

I am approaching the Final Version! I just fixed some bugs and added a few features, and I am feeling done with it. I probably will fine tune some features, however.

Here's what's new:
- Cleaned up some bugs, including the one where a special block cleared by an attack doesn't dissappear
- Grid height gauge flashes when it is close to the top (both single and multiplayer)
- Some code optimized
- A "today's wins and losses" counter appears at the bottom of the title screen (for tournaments)

Please play and find bugs!

Well done!  While this could be considered a finished game, I would like to see what other neat things you can add.

I have one thing: The block is turning the wrong way. IMAO, it should be turning clockwise, but its turning counter-clockwise. Maybe you could fix that.

VERSION 1.0!

Eitrix Version 1.0 is complete! Here are the changes from 1.0 beta:

- Bug with Speed Up (the rabbit) has been fixed, where the rabbit would continue to work long
  after it expired. It now works much like the Flip attack, in that the icon appears to warn you,
  then the effect hits.
- When a block is on the ground, press ALPHA to set it. (Before, it would reset the drop timer,
  letting it sit there perpetually as long as you held the button down...)
- Flipped the rotation keys. Now UP is actually clockwise and 2ND is actually counterclockwise
- Stats screen added! Your total wins and losses in both modes are recorded, both for all time
  and for that program execution.
   - Stats are kept in the 31-byte appvar Eitrix.
   - The Appvar is kept in archive when the program is not running. You will only lose your
     stats to a RAM clear if Eitrix happens to be running at the time.
- Because no new features are planned (other than patches and bug fixes) the Upcoming Features
  section has been replaced with a Testimonials section.

I hope you enjoy it!

I'll look into Crabcake.

Oh, yes, and I just uploaded to the omni downloads section and ticalc.org. I'll add links when the files are approved.

Eitrix: Tetris with a multiplayer twist! Eitrix is a fun and innovative game in the style of Tetris, with an important twist: Occassionally, one of the blocks in your grid will become energized with a Special Power. Clear the row the block is in, and the Special Power will be unleased, either helping you or harming your opponent. Eitrix is a game that "is different every time" (Collin Hudson), something you will want to "play every day" (Dillon Johnson). Have fun, and download today!

Hi I merged your auto topic with this one. I'll have to check the new version soon, I've been busy lately. It looks promising

It will also definitviely need a news.
