Meteos is quite possibly the best puzzle game since Tetris, and by looking t today's standard's, that's saying a lot.
On paper, Meteos looks like a relatively simple, but fun, little puzzle game. But it doesn't really do justice if you were just to watch someone else play it and assume that, because Meteos is nothing short of fast, erratic, and completely off-the-wall crazy. Why?
The objective of Meteos is to try and clear the whole screen of blocks which are named, well whaddaya know, Meteos! To do this, you must simply align three meteos of the same color horizantally, therefore creating some sort of shuttle making the other blocks on top fly towards the top screen. This may sound pretty easy to figure out, and it is, but as you progress through the game many levels, you'll have to rely on your quick reflexes(if you have any)as more and more Meteos blocks rain down faster and faster.
Everytime you launch Meteos through the top of your screen, you'll collect them as a type of currency as you progress through the game. You can use this "currency" to "fuse" them, making things like planets, other blocks, different types of sound, and items to aid you when you start a level. Such an example of these items in the hammer, which can wham away at multiple blocks, thereby clearing the room out a little bit. They aren't just there to be "there", though. You will actually need to use them to get yourself out of a mess.
It isn't really fair to judge a game's gameplay by their graphical quality, and Meteos is no exception. While it may look dull and bland, it actually looks pretty crisp and polished when going through a level. Backgrounds are fun to look at, although I doubt you'll have time to look at them at all, since several blocks wil be covering it.
The sound is one of Meteos' highlights. The music is pretty fun to listen to, and depending on the planet you're on, there is a lot of variety, including certain sound effects as well.
Overall, if you're looking for a great puzzle game to fill in some of your free time(maybe more), then Meteos will not disappoint, at all.
