    And so am i
    I even like the white screen with that ocean-sound at the end.
    This is one of the rare games i would consider as perfect !
    Highly recommended for "Tetris" fans and co.

    It was deliberate, you do have the chance to play another piece, there is also some time when you cannot play another piece any more.

    EDIT: To be specific:

    So there's some white fade time where you can still play
    and there's some white time where you can't anymore.
    This second time is also sometimes much longer then usual. Can you guys let me know, how many times do you find this second, white time, longer then usual?


    Thanks!

    Got it, working on this one. It's one of the biggest issues we're dealing with right now, since we could not determine if it was the sandbox Game Center misbehaving while testing or what.

    Besides that, some easter eggs hidden in the game we have, too. :)

    I'm listening :D. Actually if there was an iap way I'd be on it. Usually I'm not a fan of iap in general but this is such a great game that I find that I think about it when not playing and that hasn't happened for a long time. Really digging this game.

    Hmm, interesting. I already unlocked all the modes, but I am curious what this back door might be... (Though I was top 10 for shattered since so few had played it. I'm much further down now, much. But it still seems like a very small leader board...)

    Speaking of which, I don't know if it's already been posted about but I thought the very special thanks at the bottom of the information screen was a really cool touch.

    Yes I'm finding the white screen and ocean sound a time to reflect on my gameplay tactics!
    Kind of like a breather in between!

    Thanks, we are really proud of this one! :D

    So, one more easter egg to be found.. or, just posted about, I guess. Some of you must have stumbled upon it for sure already. :)

    SPOT ON! A breather - that is exactly what we were aiming for!

    Though some prefer the ultra-fast-trigger-happy restart Super Hexagon style. :)
    (me, personally - depends on the game :) definitely was one of the features that got me (well, most of our team here) addicted to Super Hexagon)

    Thanks to the very special thanks to...me.
    I rofl'd when i realized it.
    IMHO, there is nothing but nothing to be
    changed in this GOTW.

    (Well, maybe that i don't have to close
    the app first, then start my music and restart
    the game again)

    Just got around to playing it (thanks dawn of play) its a really fun HIGHLY graphic Tetris in reverse that is calm and soothing to play. You don't want the white screen but then again even that looks sweet how the team managed to do it. Fun game highly addictive go pick it up

    Yes the more I play the more I appreciate this time of reflection in between games.... Leave this feature the way it is!
    Love this game! Much success to you

    Thanks, man! Really appreciate this!

    We will re-check the bug with the longer-then-supposed-to white screen.

    Also, we may put this in the Settings - how about that, guys?

    After hearing that the white screen is there for reflection, and that you intended for it to be that long... I really don't care now. Actually... I feel bad for bringing it up in the first place. Yes, personally, I feel it might be a couple seconds longer than I'd like, but this is your vision and baby that you've put countless hours into, and if you want it there as a 'reflection time' - then by all means, leave it. I'm not going to stop playing or delete it from my device because I need to wait a couple seconds after one game before jumping into another.

    The white screen for me is the time when I bash frantically and shout profanities at the screen.

    Then we'll make it a bit longer for you, so you have time to shout them all out, and then to reflect, too.

    -- err -- yea, I mean, you'll make it longer for yourself then.. :D


    Guys, give it up for the Retronator, our chief Dream of Pixels coder! The man behind those amazing visual effects and cloudy colors procedural graphics!

    HOORAY!
