The object of the game is to remove the falling blocks by matching a minimum of four groundblocks of the same colour together. You can match these blocks either way you want, as a square, line etc.
The trick is, you can't move the falling blocks, but you have to pick up the groundblocks and "glue" them to the falling ones, or let them fall on the blocks with the same colour.This way you destroy them.
A falling block can have multiple colours. Beware, if you match one colour, it disappears, but the remaining block with the different colours will fall down rapidly. If you succeed in chaining this fast falling block, you can make a combo with the groundblocks for bonus-points.
Of course you can pick up and place the groundblocks everywhere you want, but you can also store up to 8 groundblocks to use them later, although you will have no time to wait, because it's fast-paced puzzle action here.
It's game over when you get to the top of the screen and the falling blocks are stuck at the ceiling, so try to keep the groundblocks as low as possible. If you really are in desperation, you can also use the POW-block, so all groundblocks will fall to the bottom, and on top of each other, giving you some air.
While chaining your blocks, a picture is appearing at the topscreen, this picture is made of the differently coloured blocks, and are in the style of the classic NES games, like super mario bros, legend of zelda and ice climbers.
This also gives you the idea which colours you have to chain, and which colours are less important. These less-important blocks will turn black after chaining the falling blocks with the groundblocks, so you'll know when you've completed that colour.
If you make multiple combo's, you will get coins. These coins can be used to purchase neat soundtracks, or a darker, more difficult version of the level
I'm having a great time with this unique tetris-clone, although I don't think there is much left to play after you complete the game, due to the lack of multiplayer or online support. On the other hand, the later levels become very difficult to complete, and with the nice 8-bit Nintendo theme style, It will take a while before you complete this unique game.
With 18 levels to complete, and increasing difficulty with each level, You'll definitely get more than your money is worth!
