Falling Up

A twist on the traditional "falling tetronimos" game. It starts out simple, but every level gives you a different perspective. The board will flip, spin, and dance. Simple sounds, a relaxing background mixed with a stimulating heartbeat, and clean graphics. The game does support a "soft" drop (if a drop is followed immediately by either a left or a right, then the piece will attempt to slide left or right as soon as it "hits").

What is new in this release:

• Changed background rendering to textures instead of an image (increasing framerate considerably).
• Newer installer for windows.
• Icon added for windows.
• Openal toolkit included for os x.
• In-game menus--you don't have to use function keys for everything.
• Cleaner UI.
• Base score algo taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris -- scaled down by a factor of ten.
• Ability to start from higher levels.
• Several tilesets.
• Preview reduces points by 20 percent.
• Low-scoring "CHEAT" mode reduces points by 60 percent--see if you can find this without looking at the source.
