Meteos is a puzzle game like no other.
Meteos is a puzzler-in-space, featuring falling blocks, which you must sort into matching groups. Sounds rather simple. However, there's a catch. You can only move blocks up and down. Although this may sound quite limitting at first, you'll soon realize how deep this concept really is. You can use the touch screen to sort blocks at break-neck speeds, or fling blocks into the air, ready for blast-off back into space. It's these intuitive elements that come together in a way that makes Meteos a puzzler like no other.
Every stage features different block sets, backgrounds, play are sizes, gravity, etc. No two stages are the same and they're all based on different themes. As you can see, the game is a lot deeper than you may have initially thought.
Meteos accomplishes perfection in almost every aspect. The game is insanely addictive, looks gorgeous for a near-launch title, and it's undeniably charming. The action can get quite hectic later through a level, and you'll find yourself swiping the stylus all over the screen to improve your high score. It grows on you as a truly immersive game, and it truly feels like you're playing a game which belongs in an alternate universe.
As with the graphics this game includes an extensive list of sounds. From the moment this game was powered up and I heard that great space-like tune I knew that this game would not disappoint in the sound department. I'm sure that you'll feel the same. Each level has its own unique sound set. Some are weird such as Suburbion however overall the sound sets are great. The developers obviously felt the same allowing players to fuse all the sounds from the game in sets. Of course the beautiful sounds are not only experienced from the Fusion Room or in-game. The credit screen BGM is probably one of the best in the game
There's a story mode, and some other gameplay devices such as Time Attack modes and general arcade modes. Multiplayer is also present, and it works extremely well as a competitive game. It all ties itself together beautifuly and although it may not sound interesting overall, Meteos needs to be played to be believed. It's one heck of a puzzle game.
