Amichail, I am very happy for you. You were able to make a new puzzle game with gameplay on the order of Tetris and that is a very rare achievement. There can't be more than 10 puzzle video games that have gameplay as compelling as Tetris or Bejeweled or even BreakThru and derivatives. BreakThru is called Big Money on Popcap. Dropzap's similarity to that definitely NP-complete game is what makes me think your game is also NP-complete.
I think the guy saying this is better than Tetris is being a little hyperbolic, but maybe it's just because I consider Tetris to be (by far) the greatest video game ever made.
I don't mean this to be in any way offensive, but I always kind of looked at you as the official mascot of the site. "I think 1 is the optimal number of amichails." http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=925382 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=925382 It now looks like you are going to find success.
Have you given any thoughts to the eventual design/theme? Robots? Dinosaurs? Demolition? Or keep it purely or mostly abstract? One incentive for a theme or improved design is that you can use that version 2.0 to justify a new round of reviews on the app review websites.
Now all we need is a social news site that uses DropZap scores to determine story order! :D I'd settle for a high score page where people get to link to their personal or business site.
