It says full controller support, but playing it with a controller is a terrible experience.

Good idea but....
1) Controls are not responsive.
2) We were only able to setup 1 player using ps4 controller. Player 2 can only use keyboard
3) We were only able to play to level 3 in story mode. It was too hard especially for a casual game.
We wanted this to work but it's just not worth the frustration.

This game is so close to being good - but the bricks fall down on top of bricks you are moving too often, killing you, and although you always restart - it is in a random corner.
This could legitimately be one of the most fun match-3 concepts I've played in a long time, but every time I am close to finishing a triad and a completely random brick falls, ruining my last few minutes of moves and killing me in the process it just adds to the frustration.
Sadly, this game is over 5 years old, so I don't expect that it will ever be fixed.. which is a real bummer given how fun it is otherwise - and yet I'm sure I'll never touch it again.

This game has a unique concept, but I can't get past the fact that the controls are broken at best (even with a controler) and once you get the hang of them you are constatnly hit on the head by falling blocks while trying to move them which spawns you to a random location around the structure. It is highly frustrating and doesn't make for a fun game play experiance.

This game is not mouse enabled. The tutorial does not work for keyboard uses.
I found gameplay tedious on the keyboard. It may play just find on controller, but for keyboard users it quickly becomes tiresome.
Refunded.
I wouldn't recommend this game for keyboard users.

A great idea, a horrible mistake that makes the game almost unplayable.
I bought this to play with my girlfriend, we tried, but the unresponsiveness of the controls is way too much, the first thing I noticed is the delay, you press a key and it takes some time for the game to make the movement, this is not really an issue (well, it is for some, but you get used to it), however, the word part is that [h1]the keys stop responding entirely, you press something and the game won't do anything about it[/h1] so the game will turn into a "try to get victory until the controls fail on you and make you lose".
The game would be nice, I really like the idea, and we were looking forward to the fun this game could have, but when you can't even move some times it turns out really frustrating.
