This game is so good and fun. Thanks for making it and improving it steadily. I have a few suggestions:

1. When you enter the Options screen, the Playdate B button should close it and go back to the game. That’s how the system “options” panel works, and I think it’s how Playtris’s in-game options screen should too. Then you can get rid of the “Continue” item at the top.

2. It wasn’t clear to me at first that Music and Sound were sliders. I suggest making them look more like the system volume control.

3. I don’t care to play with the Ghost option enabled, but I do wish there was some indication of where your piece would fall if you dropped it now. I’ve seen some Tetris games where there is a sort of underline under the game board that just shows which columns the current piece occupies.

4. Perhaps it’s just my eyesight, but I can’t see why “Big Blocks” is not the one and only size. With vertical space at a premium on Playdate, why not make the game board (and pieces) Big Block size?

Hi John,

#1 already merged in for the next release :)

#2 & #3 thanks for the suggestions!

#4 as it is right now you actually get less than the desired standard of 20 rows on screen with big blocks. There may be a happy medium in the future (edit: misspoke a bit as we always have 18 lines but were discussing possibly increasing that)

PS I can't believe this was your first comment on itch, welcome!
