Another quirky puzzle game on the Nintendo DS, but this one is by the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai. The game requires you to defeat warring planets by shooting Meteos at this. This is done by matching a set of 3 Meteos on your screen to shoot it off to another planet.

This is not as simple as it may seem. Each planet you come across has its unique properties like how fast blocks fall or how many matches you need to send them into orbit. It is very in-depth for a puzzle game, and yet it is simple enough that anyone can pick it up and learn.

With that said, this is held back by its surprising lack of features, as it only offers a simple arcade mode, an endless mode, and variations of multiplayer/single-player score attack modes. It is also held back by its controls, as the size of the Meteos is quite small and can be hard to maneuver on such a small screen.

This is a very unique game that I have never really seen people play or talk about much, so I would love to see a sequel or some sort of successor to this game. Any puzzle enthusiast should take a look.
