"Spinblox rules - It is so addictive and priced reasonably. You need to at least give this game a chance!!!" - SCW9 "Good game - Hours of entertainment. Worth every penny." - MT1000 "Wonderful. So Fun. I had played the web app version of this game at it was so much fun. The app version brings new special blocks adding a whole new aspect to the game. Its fun, unique and addictive and you can save your games, a major plus for people playing to pass a few minutes." - freetoremix "Good choice - This is a very addictive game. Good choice even for the price. It's worth it." - Tisha728 "=D - It's addictive! Wayyy better than the online version" - kgom "Worth It - This game is a mix of Bejewled and Tetris..." - ajkubert "Very fun and unique game - I bought Spinblox on a whim today, and I'm glad I did. Spinblox reminds me of tetris (it's very different, but the genre is the same), but it has a lot more depth to it..." - Twxz "Great upgrade - I was a big fan of the beta version, and love the new version as much if not more, the special blocks takes some getting used to, but it's a great way to vary the gameplay." - Roger P. Moore "Addictive game - I love this game. Used to play it all the time online. Great gameplay." - wquintero Spinblox is a fun and exciting classic falling block puzzle game for all ages. Drag three or more same color blocks in a row or a column to activate them. Activated blocks are removed when the next wave drops. Activate a special block by activating a block adjacent to it. Be careful, blocks can be de-activated. The game is over when the blocks reach the top. Good luck!
