Well, this is my first Lynx homebrew I ever got. Loving Tetris, I figured I would like this game. I do, but there are some MAJOR gripes:

#1 - The controls are screwed up once you reach level 8 or 9. They work OK, but the blocks fall so fast you can't really do what you want to do with them.

#2 - The major bump in block speed at some point, the blocks fall way faster!

#3 - The block's x-position at the start is completely random?!

#4 - The controls: B or down makes the block lock down. Well, not completely LOCK, read gripe #1.

#5 - The sound effects get really tiring. Hearing the same old "boing" drop after drop. I would have put different sfx for landing and then call them randomly, like a chicken cluck, or a tubular bell, or something else like that.

So many gripes, and if I was only in the Lynx scene and could test this game, I would have made it great instead of mediocre, which it is right now.
