Mega Drops 2 is a musical puzzle game, successor of Mega Drops.
The basics of the gameplay haven't changed:
A pair of blocks fall in a grid, and you have to place it so that 4 or more blocks of the same shape collide and explode. Lines appear from the ground and the goal is to resist until the end of the music.
To the old "normal" and "combo" blocks I added "shielded" and "joker" blocks, and new gameplay elements specific to each level so that they play differently.
I made 3 very different new levels, each available in 3 or 4 difficulty modes.
Other new thing appart the hundreds of bugs corrected and other little improvements: scores. Best scores and best combos are saved for each level (no online score for the moment, but it's on my todo list!)
Obviously, gfx are way better than in Mega Drops 1, because there is no more 4 colors limit.

You can watch a video here (spoiling though): http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=_CJCZooOd3M

How to play :
left/right : move the block to the left/right
down : blocks fall faster
L/R : teleport blocks as far as possible to the left/right through obstacles
X/O : rotate blocks
start : pause
select : screenshot, saved in the game folder under "./screens/"
X (menu) : selection
[ ] (menu) : cancel
A tutorial is available in the game to teach you the basics.

I want to thank all those who helped me: KTI, Blixt, SNaG WoLf (aka qberty) and Thecobra.
I used OSLib to make it, so big thanks to Brunni, and sakya for his mod.

You impressions, remarks etc are of course welcome!

I really enjoyed the previous version.
I could enjoy this version with tetris skin.
But with 8bit and sexy skin, it shows these messages and stops.

I realized the version I uploaded was completely buggy (missing alot of ressources).
The link should work again now with a proper version.
Sorry for those who already downloaded the game,you'll have to download it again, I'm really sorry.
So I downloaded again and it works.
The 8bit skin and the project sexy skin are really cool. I love this game.

... When I select 'No' at the "PLAY AGAIN" window (maybe on first run), the game sometimes freezes.
hope this bug? be fixed.
