Story
"Anecdotal"
Gameplay
"Solid"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Far from the original Tetris, here you connect same-coloured blocks to clear the flashing pieces lodged in the heap. The pleasure lies in those little clicks where a single placement wipes half the screen. Thoughtful, calm and surprisingly sly, this colourful spin-off rewards patience and anticipation.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
A colorful variant on the puzzle, this title asks you to clear blocks in same-shade groups rather than completing lines. Emptying the screen with a well-placed reaction delivers a small satisfaction that pushes you to retry the level. The whole thing stays minor and quickly repetitive, but its sorting mechanic is enough to pleasantly fill a few mobile minutes.
Difficulty
"Easy"
Lifespan
"Massive"
A snappier take on the colour-matching formula, this version bets on quick games where you must line up and clear the blocks without respite. The rising tempo and the chase for the best score feed a loop you restart almost without thinking. That brisk refinement, tailored for handheld play, extends the endless appeal proper to the genre.

Collector interest

Tetris Flash, the Japanese version of the puzzle known in the West as Tetris 2, published by BPS and Super Game Boy compatible. This reinvention of the formula, based on clearing blocks by colour, carries in Japan a title and presentation distinct from the Western editions. Its desirability lies in that regional-naming particularity and collectors' interest in the Japanese variants of Tetris games.
