I just finished a tetris clone myself so I guess its all fresh in my mind to make comments after all sorts of debugging I''ve recently done on my own.

Well, defintely as another said, you want to fix the momentary freezing before a block goes to rest. Another thing is that even though a block comes down to rest, a short space of time should be allowed for the player to be able to move the piece laterally as this is how its done in the original game. For example if you put the S shaped block down at the bottom, and the you have an L shaped block that you want to squeeze under the gap that the S leaves. With your game this is not happening. I also added a next piece up area on the side that is also a good thing to have and not hard to do. Lastly as another mentioned, using even a simple bitmap for doing the blocks makes it look really good. I was able to do one in paint in about ten seconds despite my lack of art skill. I just made a little 10x10 surface, filled it with a color, and then drew a little square inside it about 2 pixels from the edge. High scores list is another good, but not exactly crucial feature. If you want to look at my version to get ideas just ask.

One thing that mine does differently is in rotation of some blocks. Yours seems to adhere to the classical tetris way which is good.
