Review by: Master-B
Comad delivers one of its more playable arcade peep show titles with this basic hybrid of Tetris and Columns, which is a tad clunky and unpolished but OK overall. You can match tiles diagonally, and it’s got a few special tiles to spice things up: a plunger that removes a few rows, skulls that eat up space permanently (unless plunged away), and “shifters” that move blocks around and sometimes clear up big logjams.
Sadly it does have some of the most awful repetitive music loops I’ve ever experienced anywhere, I can’t believe someone actually passed this off as a soundtrack. Definitely take the headphones off or cut the speakers.
The “adult content” also seems to be limited to sepia-toned topless girlie pics that rotate in the background of the playfield, often obscured by your blocks. There don’t seem to be any big rewards of this nature, you complete a level and it’s just off to the next level with little fanfare.
