A great little puzzle game. That's all there is to it.
Graphically, it's pretty much what you'd expect of a puzzle game like this. Bright, colorful, the blocks look neat. That musical note background is pretty stupid though, but that's alright because I'm so involved with playing it I barely even notice it. To be perfectly honest, I don't even notice the CPU players. And you get a neat little fireworks explosion when you win or lose signifying that your game is over. I tend to see the losing one more often. :)
The sound, I mean, how much sound can a puzzle game have? The music sounds pretty good for the type of game, and if you don't like it you can turn it down or just flat out turn it off. The sound effects are appropriate, though the optional voice taunts are pretty retarded. "All your combos are belong to us." and stuff like that. Thankfully, they're not on by default, and they may hit it off with some people. Because at first they're kinda cute and funny, but after a while they just get irritating to me.
The gameplay however is the most important thing, and is the thing that I can't really get too far into because I'm no good at puzzle games. So parts of this may be completely wrong. And feel free to leave a comment with any corrections. The game plays just fine. It's basically just a match 3 puzzler, you have to get rid of the blocks before they fill your screen. When you get matches of more than 3, you send off various obstacles at your opponents. When you match some blocks next to … what I guess are the dirt blocks they start turning into the colored blocks one by one. You can send off brick walls at people, and even steel walls, as well as setting off combos that are pretty satisfying, even though I've only really ever done it on accident. :) It's that battle aspect of it that really holds it for me, and makes the game even more fun.
It supports up to 4 players locally, but if you don't have 3 other people to play the game with, it substitutes the missing players with computer players. You can either play just by yourself, 2, 3 or 4. So it's kinda cool that you have the option.
Now for the bad. As cool and addictive as the game is, you can almost miss the win/loss records as they are represented by a little tiny musical note in the top corner of the screen. I had completely missed it until the developer told me about it. And if it had even local leaderboards of some kind, it would make coming back to it either more rewarding, or in my case more embarrassing. And while having up to 4 players locally is pretty damn cool, and helps the replayability of the game IMMENSELY. This game SCREAMS for online multiplayer and different modes of play.
7.5 – This game is great fun and addictive as hell. The score would be a lot higher if it had leaderboards of some kind, and online multiplayer. But don't keep that from trying it out. At only 80 points, it's a hell of a lot better than the other puzzle games of it's type I've tried in the indie section, and well worth the purchase.
