Some weird interpretation of tetris. Don't like it.

Had this game on PS3 a few years back and I'm happy to see it on steam. It's one of the best puzzlers I've ever played. The pace is quick, gameplay is engaging and the animation has proven its self untarnished. Flashy, witty, fun and family friendly (unless your kids don't like it when cute creatures' guts explode!)

Haven't played it sol yet, but as a 2-p game, it's one of the best. Can't wait to break this out with more friends over and have round-robin insanity as we compete against each other in the HD, hand-animated beauty of fast-paced, Super Puzzle Fighter-like awesomeness, but with a TON of tactical depth.

Easy to understand, fun to -play, and posessing rich tactical depth!

What a wonderful game!

Fun little reverse tetris like questy thing.

So, for those that don't know, this was Capy Games' first game as their own publisher (better known for Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes or Super Time Force Ultra). It's a puzzle game similar to Magical Drop or the obscure Money Idol Exchanger, where you're trying to line up critters on vines, using food chain-themed matches to "pop" all the adjoining critters of the same colors. The critters slowly march down the vines, and you lose if they manage to reach the forest floor. When you get a particularly long combo going, your kid will show up to be fed, and you can stop to vomit rainbows into its mouth for a big score bonus and a powerup- though the relentless march of the critters continues during that time.

In general, it's a pretty solid system. Various special critters and powerups are introduced through the adventure mode - through probably a bit too slowly - that vary up things. Most of these are solid additions, though a few only bog the game down, like the toxic critters that rain down score-draining items on their death, or the morphing critters that change type and basically prevent you from making long-term plans.

Graphically it's gorgeous for its age. Though it only runs in 720p, it was one of the early PS3 releases and has some neat Ghibli-inspired designs and animation, even if it isn't vastly varied. In general, it still looks pretty sharp and has a very appealing art style. Unfortunately, the less said about the dialogue and humor, the better - I realize it was probably written for children, but even on that level the random messages you get on a game over screen is almost all cringeworthy stuff that makes "dad jokes" look sophisticated and wry.

There are three main modes: a standard play described above, a puzzle mode where you have to pop all the on-screen critters in a limited amount of moves, and challenge modes where you have to play to meet special requirements. In general it holds up pretty well, but like a lot of puzzle games, you're somewhat dependent on chance to get good combos going. At the very end of the adventure mode, sadly, you're essentially dependent on the RNG serving up the right playfield to complete it at the punishing pace it expects, which is a dissapointment.

In general, though, it's a solid game and worth playing around with if you pick it up on sale, particularly if you have a puzzling itch. The number of innovative match-3 games on Steam is surprisingly slim, and this is one of the standout titles on the service if you're into the genre.

A Dam Fine Puzzle Game! Surprisingly Good!

This game is sooooo much fun! I can play it for hours. I love that it has single and multiplayer games. Also, the graphics are really nice. This is an awesome game, and I would recommend it to everyone!

This game is everything that I hoped it would be. Local co-op with a friend is excellent and we are currently ranked in the 60's. Local versus is a blast. The Xbox 360 controller works like a charm. And by using a program called DS4 Windows my friend is able to use his PS4 controller too. The graphics are exactly what the preview shots look like, somewhat anime-ish with painted backgrounds. I really like it. Music is great. The critters drop down slow at first but if you can survive then the game really does pick up pace, or there is a button you can press to make the rows drop faster. There are a bunch of funny items and tricks to learn. I recommend playing adventure mode first to learn how the game works. But it's also pretty fun to go into local co-op and versus blind with your friend and figure the game out together. Right now we are playing through adventure mode by taking turns and helping one another out (also yelling at each other and making dirty jokes). It's been hilarious. I want it to never end. But even after the main game is completed there are puzzle and challange modes, and always the faithfully entertaining versus and co-op.
