– If you put a dice down and it resets to the top, you have to let go of down before the dice will move down unless you are holding up

– Fixed very major bugs with the combo / multiplier system getting stuck
– Added Drop combos, Wipe Combos, and total multiplier (all of them added up)
– Added Verification codes which are unique to each mode,score and multiplier to stop cheating
– If you are in a game, if you try to start over it asks if you are sure before restarting
