This game is similar to a Tetris game. However, there were a couple of things I didn't like about it. First, they kept interrupting the game with a nag screen and when you hit continue you would usually lose the placement of the piece. I suppose that comes under the heading of unregistered, but after doing this 3 or so times it "froze" which I suspect was there way of saying that you can only play a certain amount of time.

I say suspect...and that leads me to my biggest complaint. No help files at all! To figure out how to rotate the piece falling I whacked every key on my keyboard! [of course it was the last key I hit-that's Murphy's Law] While I was playing, at certain times, after I made a match the game would stick a piece up on the left side where there were several spots for these pieces-I never did figure out what that was for.

Perhaps if I had know I could have done something to improve my score. I don't see why it is so hard to write a small help file-if you are smart enough to write a game, then you should be smart enough to write a help document.
