Personal review

A bit tetris-like game where you only get these chunks of three bricks with random symbols on them that you can re-order to your heart's content, the aim is to line up at least three of the same symbols either vertically, horizontally or diagonally and it doesn't matter how many "combos" you make to accomplish that. The gameplay is otherwise similar to tetris. The game actually has a short story based on the Tower of Babel, which does little than explain some of the words used and the rounded tower thing you're sort of building. With each level the view gets higher and each completion fills the level to the top with solid bricks. It's just a candy-wrapped, albeit slightly altered tetris-clone in my opinion and as such does not really hold my interest.
