Tired of the broken Tetris® games that The Tetris Company has released lately, with their infinite spin and counterintuitive bonuses for counterintuitive moves? Are you also tired of going to shareware sites, looking at Tetris clone after Tetris clone, and not finding one with the right play balance?

LOCKJAW is a tetromino stacking game that lets you set the rules. It's a free software implementation of the Soviet Mind Game, a highly popular computer puzzle game that involves guiding tetrominoes into a well. (That is, LOCKJAW is to Tetris as GNU is to UNIX.) It includes over 20 options for making variations to the game rules, as well as "gimmicks" for practicing specific skill areas. It is known to run on PC, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS.

I'm pretty sure "remix" is the exact opposite of what Tepples is going for here. He's trying to make a very accurate clone with configurable options.

If you want a remix, try his "Lockjaw: The Overdose" game for the GBA.

This is not as good as his game for the GBA. tepples should port that to DS. Is it open source?

Well, if you download the package, you'll find versions for all three systems - PC, GBA, and DS. However, if you mean Lockjaw: The Overdose (formerly known as Tetanus on Drugs) then no, I don't think it's been ported yet. You can get the sourcecode from http://pineight.com/gba/#tod though.
