Downfall is a 3D arcade puzzle game (similar to Bloxter and other falling-blocks games).
It features real-time 3D graphics and lots of different boards to play.All boards have special blocks like indestructibles, dynamite sticks, snow shovels, wrecking balls etc.
Another cool feature is the import-export highscores, which lets you swap highscores with your friends.When importing, Downfall merges the highscores together, keeping the best ones.
The game is easy to learn. You just drop stacks with colored blocks to form lines that will react and disappear, to

I've long ago gotten used to the wacky graphics and i've always liked the use of OpenGL, but i do have one gripe about this unnervingly addicting game.
Many of the variants which seem like they could be quite interesting, are made less so because there are far too many non reactive blocks too early.
Or in other variants, the objects which create difficulties (e.g. avalanches) are so common and devastating to overcome, whereas the objects for helping the problem (e.g. hammers for breaking ice) are so much less powerful.
How challenging the game is can be regulated only with block falling speed.
The inherent difficulty in some variants doesn't allow fully exploring them, and therefore i find myself ignoring a large number of them.

If you are looking for Tetris and Tetris variations, Tetris Zone, made by the actual Tetris people is $10.
I don't think the price for this is reasonable at all. It is fun, but not $20 fun, not even tetris fun.

This is NOT a "plain old" anything.
The 3D graphics (odd looking or not) and the large number of variations make this quite different.

The point of my comment was to point out:
A) similar games that I like better, which are (conveniently) cheaper
B) I don't really think this is very tetris like and, not even all that fun, certainly not innovative enough to captivate me.

Quinn is also just plain Tetris, which this, with it's 3D graphics and gazillion variations, is not.
Quinn's fine, if all you want to do is play Tetris the same ole way.
Nice.
it may get better if the graphic quality goes higher. Even if the graphic level is high, it wouldnt make any lag probably cause its such an simple game.

The game itself isn't too complicated, but the "graphics level" is already high.
Using OpenGL to make the board, blocks, type, and everything else 3D makes it far more complex than other 2D implementations of Tetris and the like.

Still a great game, overall.

Tetris is Tetris, where this is infinitely more, with dozens of variations and OpenGL graphics. There isn't ANYTHING else like this out there.
