Sometimes Simple is Best

The great classic game. I was playing Columns.GS on my Apple IIGS and wondered if it was on the iPad. Worth the .99¢.

Good game.

Every so often I have to remove it and re download it. This is because the blocks start falling below the line making it impossible to play. Have had to reinstall it 3 times now.
