Thanks for all the positive feedback. I love the following review. That's a great motivation to make more iOS games! "I love a good match 3 game and this is a very good one at that. The game play is very strategic and the 3 game modes are all distinct and interesting. The graphics looks fantastic and the music is great to match. I was happy to kick in a dollar to get the extra music track and to disable the (very non-intrusive) advertisements. The game boosts complete Game Center support." The new iOS puzzle game with the retro look and mega particles features brand new music tracks produced by Chris Huelsbeck. Get the Game now! GeoDrop HD offers a new challenge beyond the usual match-3 game mechanics! Here is the new challenge: Create clusters of blocks with the same color. 2 stars inside the cluster removes the cluster. Special blocks like bombs or joker helps you to accomplish this mission. To make the game harder: After some blocks new rows of blocks appear from the bottom of the playfield... 3 game modes: CLASSIC: More and more colors, bombs and joker blocks - the full program! HARDCORE: The purist mode for the Constructors' experts: Constant 4 colors - No special stones. But level rise is faster. ACTION: Same as hardcore, but with 3 minutes time limit: For the little break in between. HIGHLIGHTS: - Game Center Achievements: Get all 1000 points! - Game Center Leaderboard for each game mode. - Exclusive music tracks produced by Chris Huelsbeck - Universal app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - Full HD / Retina graphics support
