## What is CRUSH!?

WARNING: This game is hard!  If you survive for 2 minutes, you are doing really well.

The creator of Slydris, 2012 iOS Game of the Year*, is back with another elegant and intense puzzle game designed specifically for touch screens.  CRUSH sounds simple: Keep the blocks from filling the screen by removing matching colors with a single touch.  But the blocks keep coming, and each touch boosts the stack even higher.  CRUSH brings you three modes of exciting short-burst puzzle gameplay:

THINK mode: Take a little time and consider what moves to make.  Go for massive combos to rack up the best Block score.

REACT mode: Make moves quickly to keep stack low.  Survive as long as possible.

CRUSH mode: The ultimate combination of speed and strategy.  Go for both large combos and a long survival time.

Choose from 6 recharging powers to use as you please, with each slightly changing the strategy required to achieve maximum scores.  The powers also provide a shield against an untimely death, but are destroyed in the process.

CRUSH also lets you select from 3 background color schemes to suit your needs.

CRUSH includes an innovative 4-way UI system and a minimalist art-style inspired by Propellerhead Software (Figure, Reason, Rebirth).

### 5/5 — Really cool

*2016-03-16, version 1.04*

While it's nothing like Lumines, this game reminded me a lot of that game. It's not spelled out for you on how to play, but it's way enough to figure out. I love how it works just as well in portrait and landscape mode.

### 2/5 — Mind telling us at least one goal?

*2014-08-10, version 1.04*

Absolutely no help or insight. I don't even know if I win or why I lose. Geeks wrote this program without any people skills. What are we supposed to do? Read your mind? We need help screens otherwise this is a total waste of time!

### 1/5 — Interesting but...

*2014-08-04, version 1.04*

Might be an oversight on my part but there is no tutorial, no directions and no information on the boosters... makes the game kinda pointless without knowing all of the rules... removes the strategy.

### 5/5 — Class A+

*2014-04-18, version 1.04*

puzzle game from one of the AppStore's finest developers. 

Slick, fun, challenging, and polished to the max. 

Get this game!

### 3/5 — RE THINKING THIS GAME

*2013-12-17, version 1.02*

Gave a previous bad review. After playing this game a little more I found it to be a very good game. The game is different, the graphics are beautiful, game play is hard but highly addictive. Addictive game play makes this a great game. I give the developers credit for thinking out of the box.

### 2/5 — Blah

*2013-08-01, version 1.02*

Not that fun. Kind of confusing at first.

### 5/5 — Everything I wanted!

*2013-07-29, version 1.02*

..

### 2/5 — Music

*2013-07-10, version 1.02*

Fun game, but it's ridiculously difficult to listen to a podcast while playing the game. Even after muting all the sounds, the game will usually opt for no sound at all and turn off my podcast when I switch back to it. It will occasionally, seemingly randomly, allow me to listen to my personal selections of choice by even then it's only after several minutes of struggling.

Otherwise, a great and afflicting game! But I won't play a puzzle game if I can't listen to my own beats with ease.

### 5/5 — Another Great Radiangames Title

*2013-06-27, version 1.02*

Fantastic minimalist presentation, deceptively deep puzzle game (despite what other reviews may say). Better than Slydris! This game ranks up there with the likes of Super Hexagon. Nice work, Radiangames.

### 2/5 — Pretty shallow.

*2013-06-26, version 1.02*

I'm pretty sure that this game would get terrible reviews if the art style were different and there was no camera angle and blur. It looks nice. Unfortunately it's all about spamming, as there seems to be no penalty for it.

Makes the game kinda rubbish.
