Horizontal Next Queue
Added an opt-out Gameplay setting that moves the NEXT piece queue into a horizontal strip above the enemy panel, reclaiming space that used to sit empty there instead of the old vertical sidebar box.
Upcoming pieces now slide into place with a bit of overshoot instead of just popping into position.
The NEXT and HOLD boxes' labels now visually cut through their border like a proper section divider instead of floating above it.
Added a piece-drop statistics panel to take the space of the original next queue.
Controls
Added a "Rotate 180°" action to Options → Controls (unbound by default — assign a key or button if you want it).
Soft drop now has real, consistent repeat behavior on both keyboard and controller — keyboard previously relied on raw OS key-repeat and could feel inconsistent. Speed is tunable via a new Soft-Drop Repeat slider.
Quality of Life
Options menu: every tab now has a clear section header, and all tabs (not just Controls) scroll to keep the keyboard/controller-focused item visible instead of letting it scroll off-screen.
Unified the "open your gem bag" button across the Map, Gem Vendor, and gem reward screens — all green with a backpack icon, icon-only, and square (largest on the gem reward screen, where it's the primary action).
The gem bag's hover tooltip and the equipped-slot "vanishing lines" animation are now consistent across all three bag screens instead of only the Map screen.
Fixes
Fixed the Abundance meta-progression upgrade not actually offering a 4th gem choice on the gem reward screen (relic rewards were unaffected).
Fixed the pause menu being clickable through — actions behind it, like picking a relic or gem reward, could still be triggered while the game was paused.
Fixed the Underdog relic ("clearing lines with S or Z pieces deals double damage") triggering whenever an S or Z block was anywhere in a cleared line, instead of only when an S or Z piece was the one that completed the clear.
Fixed relic/gem card descriptions occasionally clipping past their card's border during the controller-focus highlight animation.
Fixed the Turkish pause-menu title clipping outside the menu frame at large accessibility font sizes.
Fixed the Arika SRS "What is this?" link overlapping its checkbox label at large font sizes in some languages.
