08012021 - Beta 5


New Features with this release:

  • 080121-F002: You can change the speed of the falling blocks in the pause menu

Changing the speed rate makes the game a little unstable at times, it is to do with the collision detection routine. The blocks change their fall rate by altering the increment rate, and if they rate is outside the scope of the collision detection - funny things can happen.

If you ever use down arrow to push the block down (was in 0731 release) - and if you are playing the game outside the scope of the itch.io window, sometimes the blocks will fall and you'll see a little bounce up happen. This is my way of correcting the blocks position after it has fallen, and it has 'gone beyond' the collision detection loop.

  • 080121-B011: When restarting the game, you can't complete the new bottom row
