This is not what you first think - forget any preconceptions you may have because the graphics don't look so hot.
This is not what you first think - forget any preconceptions you may have because the graphics don't look so hot or it sounds like Tetris.
Instead prepare yourself to be sucked into a superbly playable and addictive puzzle game that will have your brain on the edge of its seat as it struggles to analyse what is unfolding on-screen.
The basic concept behind the game is that small tetris-styled blocks will fall across the screen. Each block has a colour
and a number and you've got a target amount.
The target amount could be something like 10. At the bottom you are shown the direction in which you need to create this amount (the vertical arrows mean you should stack the cubes up vertically in order to create that amount, etc).
Some of the blocks are negative values, so for example you might get a group of 3 blocks each with a value of 5, 0 and -7 fall to the bottom. You can rotate and slide them just like in Tetris and your objective is to create the total required in the order needed.
So if you target value is 1 and you stack a -5, a -2 and an 8 together - you've done it! This sounds tricky - and it is :) But it's excellent fun at the same time.
I managed to get quite a way into the game before I gave up and you should set aside your preferences for top notch graphics and action and give your mind a workout with this quality puzzle game. Enjoy!
