Name a tetris clone -- Make 10 Bux.

All the tetris clones available out there blow, so I've written my own. I'm not done yet (still need to tweak multiplayer and add netsupport), but I'm getting to the point where "Bestris" no longer works.

When I finish it I'll probably put it up on sourceforge or another website, so I want to have it named something that won't get me in trouble with the tetris police.

As far as I know anything that ends with "tris" will get me in trouble. "tetr" is probably okay.

Try to come up with something catchy and self explainatory. Something that makes it clear that it's a tetris clone by name, and something that's easy to remember.

If I get enough good ideas in this thread I'll post a poll with my favorites and let OOT decide which is best. I may or may not use their favorite.

If I decide to use one you suggested, I'll send you 10$ via neteller or paypal. First person to suggest it is the one who has the claim.

You can post as many ideas as you want, but if you post a list of 100 I'm probably less likely to read it or give all of them serious consideration.

Here's a screenshot I took semi-recently for inspiration.

It's written in Java/SWT and is (should be) runnable on any system that has Java and SWT (anything anyone's running). I did all the graphics but the blocks, which I ganked from some other tetris clone. I'll eventually replace them.
