Tetris Fans Should Try 'Puzzle Prism'

Now here's a game that has slipped under the radar for the past few months that I think is worth a look.

Puzzle Prism [App Store, $3.99] a Tetris variant in which you are dropping blocks onto a rotating 2x2 tower. Fill a level completely to clear it. Let the tower grow too tall and you lose. A simple formula, but one that is implemented very well. The soundtrack is solid, the controls work well, the game has a satisfying feel, and I find myself going back to it regularly.

There are two modes of play:

  • Standard - keep clearing blocks to avoid the tower growing too tall.
  • Extra (for advanced players) - the tower descends slowly and you must build a solid block without spaces before it drops below the line. (surprisingly challenging)

This gameplay video (not filmed by us) shows a rushed look at the game:

In this age of premium $0.99 titles, I fear that some will balk at the $3.99 price. But, you know, they can't all be gory action-adventure epics. Sometimes you just need this sort of classic "go to" game on your iPhone. One that's fun, plotless, and has long term replayability. Well, here it is.
