There's something very addictive to the simplicity of this. Similar to how Flower made me feel, but without the big payoff it had at the end of each level.

I often feel a bit alien when I see people talk about classic games they love, I mean proper GAMES. No story or anything fancy, real arcade type shit. Tetris is one of those that just does nothing for me, and this is almost universally the one I see people laud. I don't hate Tetris, I just get nothing from it. But the way it seems to still hold people after all these years must mean something, and I keep trying to find that somewhere for myself.

Is it this game? No. But I feel like I caught a glimpse here of what people feel when they talk about those kinda games. Simple, rewarding, and almost mechanical after a while.

Also, after this and Flower I am now shit-hot at motion controls. Might try and become a professional Lair player.
