Bugs

1. Gravity works uniform on all pieces of the tetrimo rather than on the tetrimo
2. Sometimes the last row clearing gets disabled (re-enabled after clearing more rows)
3. Blocks can sort of phase throught the bottom if you move them alot on the last row (left and right)
4. Rotating fast enough might cause temporary suspension (gravity will work as soon as you fail to be at that speed)
