    Hello!
    So in between working on my other game Brink of Extinction (https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/wip-beta-brink-of-extinction-td.408749/), studies and every day musts I've been working on a new take on the classic Tetris concept. I've come to call this Duostack, a game in which you have to stack pieces spawning from two directions (one at a time or both at the same time depending on which mode you are playing). The game is more or less finished, but here's what I intend on fixing before I add a playable version on GameJolt, Itch.io and upload to steam greenlight:
    Music
    Sfx and music on/off option
    Credits screen
    Day/night transition depending on player time of day
    Some fireflies during the evening
    Save/load scores
    Trophies/achievements
    Animation when in bonus mode (when you've cleared many rows in a short time)

    Comments, ideas and critique welcome. :)

    Decided to remake the menu, since it was outdated and fitted better with the previous look of the game.

    A solid classic with an interesting twist: I like it

    Implemented day/night cycle that follows the system time. Fireflies appear during night evening/night.
    (night - day)

    Implemented drop piece functionality, so once you know where you want to place it, hit left/right shift to put it into place right away. Also, now if you clear 8 columns in close succession you enter the bonus mode giving double points for each column cleared.
    Bonus mode (also rebalanced colors):

    That means all features I've intended for have been implemented. Only thing left to work on is the music, I have the main track started, but unfortunately the HDD holding my sound library is giving me grief so it will be another few days before I can finish it.
