Simple Tetris version 1.1 is now available for download!
The requisite screenshot:

It retains all features of the previous version, but now with greater stability.
Only one known bug has been introduced during this rewrite, and I'm not sure how to handle it.
Previously, you could hold down a key and the block would move repeatedly (for example, holding down the 1 or 3 keys would have the block spin continuously), whereas now you have the press the key repeatedly yourself.
(admittedly a minor bug, but a bug nonetheless)
If you do choose to download and play this, please let me know so I have some idea of how popular it is.
(and any feedback would be appreciated)
The improvements I have planned for Tetris Power are as follows:

The improvements I have planned for Tetris Power are as follows:
- A "screen" system so I can show overlays, dialogs, etc. such as intro, option and help screens.
- Hopefully an improved animation system so I can animate almost everything.
- A more intuitive default key layout, with the option of changing them to fit the way you play.
- Colourful backgrounds to add that professional touch.
- Support for more block shapes, including three- and five-piece blocks, with options to enable and disable them.
- More bells, whistles and shinies.
We'll see how long it takes to complete...
