Challenging progression using endless mode to gain exp. for the campaign. Keep wishing I had more block space. Definitely not Tetris. Endearing and original art work. Don’t like that the top half of the screen is dead to touch. Also, I seem to have discovered a bug wherein some blocks will become unclearable regardless of match. Always at the bottom of a stack. Couldn’t reliably replicate but have seen it a few times.

The whole purpose of a free trial or a demo is to give players a taste of the game and the different features, while perhaps teasing future, full game features. This demo hardly does either of these things. It provides about 10 minutes worth of content in the form of 3 levels (which are advertised as 5 stages) and these levels are basically all the same and barely add anything new to the gameplay other than two new types of blocks to connect. There is a very simple weapon system that seems to be in the game, but the demo doesn’t show this off at all. Unless you’re lucky, you will likely have to play the third level multiple times over to unlock one new weapon which doesn’t look much different from your starting weapon. The weapon gives only some stat buffs which you will quickly forget about unless you replay the demo levels, because the third level where you unlock the weapon is the last demo level. It’s also worth noting that the gameplay is quite clunky for a few reasons. The blocks will be constantly falling at a rather quick rate, unless you tap repeatedly, in which case the blocks will rotate clockwise while remaining suspended. This alone isn’t that big of a problem, as you can keep tapping while you decide where you want to put the block. However, a problem often occurs when you try to place the block and get in the correct rotation. Like I said previously, the blocks typically turn clockwise when you tap, however, it’s not at all uncommon for the block to just randomly reconfigure upon a tap instead of rotating clockwise, and this seems to be rather buggy and it throws off gameplay. For these reasons, I don’t see myself spending 2.99 to upgrade to the full version. This amount just doesn’t seem justified by the 10 minutes of simplistic, generic, and clunky gameplay.

Let me start with compliments. This game has a great novel concept for a match battler. I also give it high marks for the story concept, artwork, and music. I understand ads are a part of this industry. But when presented with the sole option of viewing an ad to progress the game, a player should not hear “thunk” when you press the watch ad button signifying the game will not permit your choice of action. I am also concerned about my current-generation tablet “running hot” when playing this app. I keep my screen brightness to a minimum and no other apps were running in the background, so I know those are not the cause.

I have been wanting to try this game out for the longest time. My reluctance was with ads for f2p and the initial purchase price for full content. You have listened to the masses and put a price that I...and most who love Tetris and battling games are more than willing to spend. I am enjoying the game as I thought I might. My only gripe is the sensitivity of the controls. When I drag too lightly the block rotates when I never intended for it to. I have not switched the settings from swipe to tap yet so hopefully that resolves the issue. Other than that it is a great game.
