I just played and got all squiggles. 100%. I was pretty happy with 2 lines. So frustrating.

You don't get the same piece every time, you get the same piece until you start putting them in such a way that a different piece is statistically worse than the squiggly.

I got six lines at the most before deciding this is like picking a mental scab. Curse you photon!

If the game is completely deterministic, that is, you will always get the statistically worst possible next piece, I wonder if you could write a hatetris playing program that would play perfect games. Without any randomness at all, there must be a possibility of a perfect score that can’t be exceeded.

I think the control clunkiness was way worse than getting boned on pieces every time.

How do you even start? I hit "New Game", and it shows a piece at the top, and then nothing happens. What button is it, I've basically mashed my entire keyboard trying to figure it out.

I was about to call you an idiot, then I tried playing agian. Looks like it's broken.

Huh, it worked fine for me just now...You've got to move the piece with your arrow keys.

Yeah, looks like it's fixed. For awhile a white grid appeared and the pieces wouldn't move.

I'd prefer that game. Probably less frustrating that way.
