“Kerplinkus promises retro take on match-based puzzle play... mixing the old with the new... [in] a distinctly old skool flavour.” -Keith Andrews of Pocket Gamer
“Is very, very addictive. Prying yourself away from the game proves very difficult. It has high replay potential and will offer many hours of entertainment.... This is a must-buy for casual puzzle game players.” -Linda Ta of AppSafari
“If you love playing casual puzzle games on your iPhone or iPod touch such as Bejewelled or Trism then [this] is definitely worth taking a look at.... If games like Pac Man, Space Invaders and Tetris still have a place in your heart then Kerplinkus could definitely find its way on to your homescreen.” -Phil Wheeler of AppAdvice
“This tile-matching game sets itself well apart from competing products, due to its hectic gameplay, muted art style, and classic SID-chip soundtrack.... It is actually very different from the normal mode of thinking.... A really nice effort by the crew at [Kranky Robot].”

Kerplinkus is a completely new take on the casual puzzle game. It's like spinning plates. You must focus on ALL 8 columns or 1 will grow out-of-control. No match 3. No movement restrictions. No special-blocks. Swap ANY 2 blocks anywhere, anytime. Just focus on removing blocks, not creating them.

An absolute First Rate Puzzler!

I absolutely love this game. The mechanics, retro graphics/music and overall presentation are perfect IMO. I think this one will be staying on my phone for quite a long time. I got the same feeling playing this for the first time as I did when I first picked-up Orbital. And I haven't deleted Orbital since it first debuted. If you're a fan of puzzlers, retro-styled games or just a great and addictive challenge, I can't recommend this game enough!

Thanks to TouchArcade for the find. Hell yes, this is solid. I love puzzlers and this isn't aping anything else I've played. In my constantly rotating ten pages of games -- this is a keeper. :)
I absolutely love this game!

Excellent match three game but I have one problem, there are no separate leaderboards for each difficulity setting.
Funfunfun

This game keeps you on your feet and it's really fun! I wouldn't suggest you get this if you are prone to seizures or old due to the spectrum of pulsating colors haha it makes my head hurt
Top Notch

VERY well done. Unique but familiar. Challenging and addictive. Easily worth the puny price. Give it a try.
A great original puzzler!

Excellent game, fun, different, challenging, and simple to understand! A new favorite - I look forward to seeing what else this developer releases. Recommended :)
Awesome.

Currently the best "match 3" game on the iPod. An original take on the genre that more than gives it new life.
