Addictive!

Love the retro music and addictive gameplay! I kept trying to beat my score and an hour flew by!

Good addictive fun :-)

Straight forward gameplay, great music - good stuff!

Fun game!

It's harder than it looks. That's what keeps me playing!

Fun and fast!

GREAT game! It's lots of fun and very fast. I can see it being a hit with kids. I would love to see the the shapes sparkle when they disappear to go along with the name. Maybe they do and missed it lol. Bottom line...great game and the music is crazy cool. Very Super Mario-like but with an original twist. Can't wait for more games from Tomatoboy!
