Sosume ReviewPhones home but when denied it crashes - Version: 1.1, 1/14/2007 11:07AM PST

It tries to phone home when I install it. I deny it access to phone home but then as soon as I try to play it crashes. No thanks I will stick with other apps that do the same thing.

Why does it need to phone home? If I would have let it phone home what would it have transmitted back to its developer. Would it log any personal information?

Sosume ReviewBest tetris clone since Tetris Max - Version: 1.0.1, 1/1/2007 06:59AM PST

gtw--2008
It may not have as many features as Quinn but in terms of playability it's the most fun version I've played since the days of Tetris Max. The responsive key handling and lack of annoying animations makes it a dream for high-speed players like myself.

Hint: Set the key rate to max and the delay down to 0.2 to let you move pieces to the sides of the grid quickly.

Sosume ReviewUsable in v1.0.1, but still needs improvements - Version: 1.0.1, 12/31/2006 08:14AM PST

Thanks for the quick answer+fix. However, no docs, a mention of the copyrighted word "Tetris" (argh!) in the "Help" menu, not fully compliant with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, a couple of bugs (try to resize the sheets...), etc. Pluses: sound and online highscores. A good start, but Quinn is so way ahead... Good luck though!
