you can report bugs. A new version will be released with some bugfixes

Thanks for your response!
I do find the Gameboy Tetris to be the topmost Tetris in my opinion.. mainly because of the way it randomizes the pieces.
Would you be able to copy the piece randomizer from it?
Some had said it uses a 2 bag (14 piece) shuffler, but while playing the GameBoy version I was writing down the pieces that appeared so I see it uses an algorithm. Here is a list I made of the amount of pieces I got while playing for a couple of minutes.

7 x O
3 x L
4 x J
11 x S
5 x Z
6 x I
9 x T

This tells me there is no 14 piece shuffler or even 24 piece shuffler.

Digging around about this I found this article which explains how the Gameboy randomizer works.

Would you be interested in adding this randomizer or perhaps applying it to a future development?

that's the kind of feature that could be mixed in the game without too much hassle.

If you are interested in adding this feature then that will be just awesome!! This was like it was destined for you, I believe nobody else would have understood it better!! Cant wait to see it!

I was playing in 2p mode, seems both players get a different random seed.. it does happen that they get the same from time to time.. but could there be possible an option or have them to always get the same pieces so its a fair competition?
