    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this tetris-inspired game is highly praised for its innovative color-matching mechanic, which adds depth and complexity to traditional block stacking. Players appreciate the variety of modes, adjustable difficulty settings, and the engaging sound and visual design that enhance the overall experience. The unique mechanics challenge players to rethink their strategies, making it a refreshing take on the classic formula that keeps them engaged for hours.

    • “The gameplay mechanics are perfect, the various modes range between fun and fiendish, and the sound design is crunchy like autumn leaves.”
    • “The othello-like color changing mechanic has added something to the game that I haven't felt with Tetris in a long time: I actually have to think before I start dropping pieces.”
    • “The insane variety of modes will keep you occupied for hours, and has very clean implementations of mechanics inspired by many deep cuts of fan games if looked at closely.”
    • “As far as the mechanics themselves, the color flipping makes every drop so impactful and full of information that it's nearly impossible to keep up with it.”
    • “The way the mechanics work (air prevents color propagation) means that leaving small gaps in your structures is significantly more difficult to clean up, so it takes a good bit of forethought to prevent them at all costs.”
    • “The new mechanics make it 'Tetris, but harder,' and it makes Tetris feel so refreshing even after playing for several years!”
  • music
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing and nostalgic qualities, featuring thoughtful recompositions of classical pieces and a chill vibe reminiscent of retro gaming. Players appreciate the ability to customize their soundtrack by adding personal playlists, although some express a desire for more control over the default tracks. Overall, the combination of high-quality music, elegant visuals, and satisfying sound effects creates an engaging and immersive experience.

    • “The backgrounds, sounds, music, low-res graphics, and sprinklings of Japanese language blend into a perfectly pleasant and pacifying vibe.”
    • “I'm happily humming along with the thoughtful recompositions of royalty-free classical music while subconsciously soaking in the public domain pictures and nature photographs, all the while locked-in and crunching down lines of blocks.”
    • “The game also boasts a very relaxing but memorable soundtrack and is an absolute steal for the price it's asking for!”
    • “The only thing I would say negatively about this at all is the music is honestly kind of bad, but when it comes to this genre you don't lose much by muting the music and putting on something else; I have Tetris Effect if I want a more music-driven Tetris.”
    • “All the tracks are extremely high quality and fit well, but some of them are not to my taste, and I find myself either disabling the soundtrack entirely just to play my own in the background, or I just sit through the ones that I don't like, hoping the next one is one of my favorites.”
    • “No option to choose the soundtrack.”
  • graphics

    • “The presentation style is like a dialed-down version of the art associated with vaporwave aesthetics.”
    • “Level backgrounds mostly consist of nature photography, artworks, and other images that never stand out on their own.”
    • “The aesthetics are clearly inspired by both the beloved Grand Master games by Arika, but also with notes taken from the ur-aesthetic game of Tetris for CD-i.”
