Amazingly fun and addictive. I love this twist on Tetris.
Perhaps one suggestion to making it a bit easier to tell how it lines up is to have an extremely faded out or near-transparent view of what the new block formation would look like if the falling block would be dropped right there. Then as the falling block gets closer and closer to the rest of the mound of blocks, it'd become invisible (since at such a small distance away, it's much easier for the eye to judge where it's going to land, but when it's a long ways up, it's hard to judge where it's going to land).
Hopefully that made sense. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain myself again or draw a picture.
It's kind of awkward...it's kinda hard to tell where it's going to land..you don't know when you're going to reach the top..the score isn't easily noticed...otherwise pretty cool good job.
Awesome! This is really cool, spent 10 minutes on it allready. In the next version, how about adding sound? Like a "ka-ching" when you complete a ring?

@ Helmers: I intend to add sounds however I do not know where I could find free sound effects from.
@ Tmchenry: The top of the cylinder is simply where your pieces spawn from.
And before anybody mentions it, yes future versions will show the next piece before it appears.
