Personal review

In Lot Lot you control one of two arrows (the second one is controlled by the computer or a second player). Pellets are falling from the top of the screen down into squares surrounded by walls. The walls randomly disappear for a short period of time. Each time you press a button the content of a square changes its place with the square the other arrow is pointing at. Your goal is to let the pellets fall out of the square grids into different pots at the bottom of the screen. Accumulate a given amount of points to make it to the next round. As soon as a pellet falls down into the square directly above the "out" field, a crab will slowly walk up. When it reaches the pellet(s) you loose a life. The game is pretty addicting. The idea behind the game feels innovative and it has the right pace of action and challenge to not become boring or tedious.
