Basically a mediocre Tetris clone.

Worst, most stressful puzzle game

I’ve never had a puzzle game give me actual, physical stress while trying to figure out the mechanics, and this is the game that takes the “honor” of doing so. The objective is to clear the board while randomly generated blocks fill the bottom, pushing everything up. Sounds like a spin on Tetris, right? The difference, though, is that this game tends to inexplicably produce several rows at a time. The second you get a block into place to clear a row, three more rows spawn that clear the blocks you needed, creating a hole that can’t be filled with what you had above. The most annoying mechanic is that you can’t move more than one block at a time; if you need to move two blocks, you better hope you have enough time and/or room before the creepy rabbit monster at the top of the puzzle doesn’t eat everything on the board. That is something that happens when you reach the top row of blocks on the board. The way the playing board looks, with the top “game over” row being the exact same as the rest of the board, it tricks you into thinking you have another row of play before losing the game. Nope! It’s a veiled costume of safety, meant to trick you into giving just *one* more buffer move. If you lose the game, you can “continue” several times with no consequence besides an ad, and no wonder. You will have to start over and over again. You might think there’s a learning curve, but there is not. Playing this game, you are at the mercy of RNGesus and the rabid fluff-monster whose stomach you use to move blocks around. And RNGesus is never pleased.

Love the game but it seems to be geared towards using the special tools so it lacks any creativity. Every single game is the same after you’ve played for a while.

I like the game but it has so many ads I won’t play anymore.

Could be fun - but lack of control FRUSTRATING

This game has potential....but OVERALL SLUGGISHNESS IS A PROBLEM and nope, not going to continue playing. If I can’t move pieces efficiently, -while- it “thinks and decides” to moves rows down? Yeah, no thanks. There are better options out there - but keep working on it...
