I think this is great and a lot of fun. The only improvement I could suggest is that it only seems to clear the bottom line. If I have an incomplete bottom line, but the row above it settles and fills up, it never clears and the rows just keep stacking higher.
After a few games, it quite playable [without using the mouse, that I classify as cheating]. I cleared like 10 or 15 rows and then bad luck stuck :( .
[spoiler alert] The trick is to try to almost complete the first row. And then aim the new pieces toward the bigger holes in the first row, and toward the inclined blocks in the second row so they open the hole. It's like using the new blocks as hammers. But after a while, if you are unlucky the second row is too even and has no inclined blocks and it's too difficult. Once the 2nd and 3rd row are complete, you are doomed.
A row counter and detecting other complete rows would add a lot playability. [Fun game anyway, I'm going to play a few more games now.]
My bottom row was a lost cause, but when I managed to fill up some other rows, they didn't clear, and I thought clearing is not implemented at all and stopped playing...
My strategy was just keep cramming more blocks in and wait. Eventually the pressure at the top forces the bottom line to rearrange and clear.
But I do think the threshold of complete line for the clearing of the bottom should be slightly lower to allow more frequent clearing. I think that would be an improvement that would also increase the playable fun duration.
PS I love this game I think it's very fun and maybe the tongue-in-cheek bylines should be "physically realistic Tetris"
I just noticed, as I think other commenters said, only the bottom line clears. I definitely think it would be an improvement, and I hope you consider, to allow other threshold complete lines to clear as well, as that would also I think increase the playable fun duration of the game.
You can drag blocks. When you make some place on bottom and there is enough blocks touching bottom to fill a line (it doesn't need to be continuous) all bottom touching blocks disappear.
I had the same issue, but luckily, with your mouse you can move some of the blocks so you can adjust them to break the first line, and then everything collapses and it's kind of fun to see.
