First off, Basic 1010 is your bog standard 1010 game. In my mind, what sets it apart from the crowd and makes it rather enjoyable to play, is the fact that there are no points. One does not score points for placing blocks or clearing rows. It does not keep score nor tell you what a wonderful player you are. There are no flashy sparkly elements, no ads, just a basic, solid, 1010 game that leaves one completely alone to enjoy the game. And that, my friend, is the whole point.
