### 5/5 — Addicting yet Casual

*2023-07-15*

I downloaded this thinking I’d get bored of it quickly but it is very addicting! Love the chill-hop soundtrack and overall vibe, as well as the 3 mode options. 
One request I’d ask is the possibility of a power up that allows you to swap out a block for another random one, or to hold one for later. Also, the ability to destroy shadow blocks or any block would be fun too. But, as-is game is a clever take on the Tetris concept inside of a grid instead of them falling. The creative placement options with no need to worry about gravity makes it interesting.

### 5/5 — Keep coming back

*2022-02-13*

Insomnia? Anxiety? Exhaustion? Bored? This is a great answer to all those things. Relaxing vibes. But also fun! Essentially no matter what the situation, it always seems like a good time to play.

### 1/5 — Liked until update

*2022-01-30*

I like this game until update screen white there are blocks but no grid kind of hard to play that way.

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting me know! This looks to be a bug with Unity right now and I am getting a fix pushed out ASAP. In the meantime if you set your phone to Dark Mode it fixes the issue. The next update should address this problem! Sorry about that.

### 5/5 — Endless fun!

### 5/5 — A bit obsessed

*2021-12-02*

This game has been my go to lately when I'm feeling anxiety and need to just distract and relax. The music and sounds are actually amazing and the game is fun and challenging without making me feel tense. My new favorite.

**Developer response:** Great to hear you're enjoying it! Providing a relaxing meditative experience was a goal during development!
