First off, I'd like to say that this is definitely my favorite game on my Playdate. I purchased it on catalog and play it daily. (Great for bathroom breaks at work.)

I have a couple questions:

Is there a possibility to add a "return to title page" selection from the menu button? If not no biggie it just feels like it would be nice to have.

Also, is there anywhere where I can find what specific completions/combos get me what score? I am getting better at understanding patterns on clearing bigger lines but was wondering if that info was available somewhere? Furthermore does each mode give the same scores for clears?

Thank you for making this wonderful game and your time.

Thankyou so much, that means a lot to me! Glad you are enjoying the game!

Definitely, i'll add it to my list of things to add. Feel free to request anything else, I can't guarantee it will get added, but I'd love to hear any suggestions.

Scoring is the same across every mode and is calculated like so:

5 points for a single row clear
15 points for a double row clear
30 points for a triple row clear
That score (5/15/30) is then multiplied by your clear streak, so if you cleared a row with your last block placement and then clear again with your next block that score is doubled, then tripled, etc until you dont clear a row and it is reset back to 1.
If you clear the entire board you get a bonus 50 points
