Another simple but brilliant downloadable game from the madmen over at G-Style (of Alien on the Run fame).
This game is more or less Tetris with physics, with some extra nonsense thrown in. Weird and random (although usually themed) object drop down from the top screen onto the bottom screen. You need to rotate them so they land on the base without falling off of it or through it. If stuff falls off of it, the badness meter goes up, and if it hits the top before you finish the 5-stage block, then you lose! I never had a problem with that though, though I came very close once or twice, as depending on how many objects you stack up in a stage, the meter is lowered by a certain amount.
Dropping the pieces isn't all easy though. On the top screen of about every stage, there're all kinds of nasty storm clouds, mutant birds, torrenting winds, and black holes trying to take away your ability to guide them slowly down. If you hit one of these top-screen obstacles on the piece's way down, then it plummets to the bottom. Being that these are physics objects, it will usually SLAM into your pile, and usually knock something loose and mess up your beautiful stack. Additionally, on the 5th level, a member of the evil construction company will come to harass you, and this ranges from horrible stuff like really ramping up the drop speed or randomly picking a direction for your object to constantly turn, to reletively harmless stuff like locking your ability to turn the object, or giving you a series of annoyingly shaped objects.
The story doesn't need to be there, and is totally aware of it. It's completely off the wall, tropey and very very silly. It's just there for a laugh between stages, and it accomplishes that goal.
Verdict: Recommended. It's not of the quality of something like Alien on the Run, but if you want a fun, quick time-waster on your 3DS, this is a fantastic choice :)
