Tetris was good, but Meteos is amazing.

Meteos is an amazing game. At first glance the game looks like other puzzle games with multicolored blocks falling from the sky, but the game is much more fast paced and much more fun. Blocks will fall from the sky, slowly at first but progressivly faster, and once they land you will be able to swap them with each other in an attempt to get three of a matching color. In a normal puzzle game this is when the matching blocks would just dissappear, but in Meteos they turn into rocket boosters and attempt to launch all meteos on top of them into space. How high they launch depends on several factors: what planet you're on, how many boosters your rocket has, how many meteos are on top of your rocket, and whether you match was vertical or horizontal. Each planet has it's own unique gravity, while one is similair to earth another plays as if you're underwater, and yet another's gravity is so light a match will instantly teleport off the screen along with all the meteos on top of it. Every meteo you launch off the screen in the single-player mode will be saved and can be spent on new planets, items, and music. The main single-player modes include an story mode where you play through a series of planets to reach the final battle against the evil planet Meteo, Deluge mode where the game keeps getting progressivly harder untilo you lose by letting the meteos reach the top of the screen, and a mode where you play against AI opponents where launching meteos off the top of the screen fills up your opponents screen. That mode can also be played against friends in a single or multi-card versus mode. Trying to collect every planet and see every ending to story mode will last you a long time. This game is a modern classic that you'll keep playing forever.
