I was able to get 3056 on Modern mode after a few rounds. VERY satisfying game to play :)
I was thinking about how you can't really see the active piece near the top of the board. To my amusement, you address exactly that issue in 1.01 :D Amazing!
The speed change in arcade mode after 500 or so points ("classic" leveling) is very sharp. Is that actually true to the classic? If so, you really need a clean board to do well beyond that.
