I think we need to not drift away from the original game too much either, though. I think it's supposed to be some port/clone of the original, after all.

Oh, no. It's not a port of anything. It's based on some ideas from Tetris Flash, (in fact, some mechanics are also borrowed from Columns) but is otherwise an unrelated game. I can understand the confusion, since I compared it to Tetris about a hundred times. It's just easier to reference existing games as examples of specific gameplay mechanics, as opposed to explaining them in unique details.

Well, it *does* look strikingly similar to Tetris. I guess I was a little too close to Tetris with the graphic design.

Could be because it sounds similar to "dominoes" - which, incidentally, are also polyominoes.

Kind of funny that I mentioned that, since I was recently learning how to play dominoes. ("All Fives") For some reason, that game seemed really complicated. Took me 40 minutes just to understand the mathematical parts.

(then again, anything involving math tends to be my bane)

Oh welcome back Ztrumpet ^^
