A very serious warning !!!!!!
It starts as a good way to kill time on a train, bus or subway then becomes a good way to avoid doing all those boring/tiresome chores that interrupt your day. But trust me when I warn you it WILL end up in a CIA holding cell with you a suspected terrorist as you'll have rubbed of all your finger prints and when the hood is placed over your head all you will see if coloured square tiles !!!.... PPS I've been playing this game this for months and months now and I'm still as addicted as I was on day one!

A Fun Match 3 Experience
I was looking for a game like Tetris Attack, and luckily I found SeaGlass. While it doesn't have the Puzzle Mode and VS Mode of Tetris Attack (two modes I love), it does a good job at making up for it by its smooth gameplay. Scrolling up to see more blocks is done by making a swiping motion upwards, and it's done in a way that there's not a moment where you don't have full control over the board, meaning there's no waiting to scroll up while blocks break like Tetris Attack makes you do. The gameplay really is the most fluid I've played in these types of games.
The two game modes this game does have are Challenge (2 minute game) and Marathon (however long you last), and they always start at level 1 speed. The level goes up based on your score during gameplay, and can go all the way up to level 99. Both modes have Game Center leaderboards, so I can see how poorly I'm doing compared to other people. :p There's also 21 achievements which gives you points in Game Center as well as unlock the different skins that change the look of the board/blocks. You can leave the game and continue where you left off (great for Marathon), and you can listen to your own music.
Also, the developers are still working on making the game even better. I e-mailed them a suggestion for an update, and they did it. Pretty quick, too. They even said to feel free to suggest any other things, so I did, and they're actually doing them. There's not too many developers who listen to people's suggestions out there, so it's always great to support them. It's a nice feeling to be able to communicate with good developers to help get the full potential out of a game.
So to sum things up: The game is fun, the developers are good, and the price is right. Now it's up to you.

A job well done~
I like the simple and nice interface. Sometimes too complicated can make your eyes go @@. It does it job well as a match-3 puzzle. Took me 30 seconds to understand the gameplay. Good job :)
Great game at a great price
Clean interface and easy to understand game play with a twist, make this a great addition to the match 3 genre.
Cool little block game!!
Very very addictive - taking up far too much of my spare time :)
Pretty good
This game is quite good. It's very polished and has many nice features. I also got it for free, so I can't complain about the price. It's probably worth $1-2 though.
With all of that said, if you like this type of game (Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League style), you should check out Puzzle Panel. It has faster paced gameplay and a puzzle mode. But hey... why not get both?

So Clean
If you like Planet Puzzle DS; this is such a good version. I have all of these types of slide match 3 games and this has become my favorite. Skins and achievements feel great. Such a clean and cool look. Hope they keep going on this!
Solid gameplay, but lacking
The gameplay is exactly what I was looking for in this Tetris Attack/Puzzle League clone. The default skin is nice, and the unlockables are a good bonus. I appreciate the more difficult achievements, as touch controls can make Puzzle League too easy. Many of the other skins and the overall UI are pretty nasty, and could use a lot more polishing. I'd like to see some indicator - a glowing effect or something - to show which block I'm currently moving. Probably the largest oversight is a lack of a colorblind mode. The shapes on the Puzzle League blocks weren't there just for kicks. With a few tweaks this game could be really great, but for now I have to call it average.

Cracking game
Reeally addictive and easy to play, brilliant for killing time! Highly recommended!
Love it! Challenging without being Exhausting
I generally play games to fill bits of time and to relax. This fits the bill wonderfully. I like match 3 games. I LOVE Seaglass. I enjoy how the game is played by moving the squares. It also looks good (although I don't like most of the alternate skins)... I didn't give it 5 stars because
1) Game level format: You have to start over from level one everytime you play.
2) Alternative skins quality: Some are visually too dark or images not as crisp.
3) Useless "unlocking" skins feature as point/level reward: IMHO, unlocking skins aren't a worthy motivator for this type of game - Seaglass in particular. Seaglass is just so good it doesn't need this feature as a crutch. Go ahead and unlock all the skins so we can play with whatever background or pieces we want. If you want to include special rewards add in-game power pieces to help clear some squares!
Otherwise, again, great game!
