This game is insanely addictive. It should be BANNED! Argh! No sleep for 47 hours …

Seriously, this is a neat twist on the colour tetris theme – slamming the blocks around all over the place is great for working on that anger management. My only criticism is that the graphics could do with a little more polish and the sound could do with some beefing up. On the other hand, the gameplay was good enough to have me reaching for my credit card to unlock the rest of the game.

Cheers,

Multiplayer? Please tell me there’s a tetris/frozen-bubble like multiplayer to this game?!?

This COMMERCIAL game uses SDL on all platforms, and no directx for Win.
IHMO, This is indeed a good news…=)

Actually I never found tetris to be a fun game. But this new interpretation with the applied physics gives it a whole new meaning imho. It really makes a lot of fun.

The only things I would add are a 3D-mode (à la Block-Out) for that extra mind-twist :) and some funkier graphics-effects.

Best regards…

That I might try to make a GPL version of it.

One of the best tetris clones I’ve ever seen. Just registered it…
Actually, I had been wondering noone had been making something like this. Now Chronic logic did it. And they did it for Linux :)
