  • Summary: Dream of Pixels is a beautiful falling blocks puzzle game, in reverse. The brilliant twist on the old classic is the unpacking of tetromino blocks in place of the usual packing. Simply tap on the descending grid to unpack the tetrominos and watch them spin, rotate and drop with gravity. Clear the lines from the beautiful cloudy grid fast enough or it's - dream over. Expand

    Regardless of the mode, Dream of Pixels is a fresh and fun take on the tried-and-true falling blocks game.

    If you're in the mood for a fantastic falling blocks puzzle game, then I highly recommend you drop everything that you're doing right now and buy Dream of Pixels. In fact, if you can only get one game this week, make it this one. You won't regret it.

    You'd think such a concept as reverse Tetris would be as easy to grasp as it would be trite, but Dream of Pixels is neither, delivering an engaging puzzle game with a unique concept.

    A great puzzle game. It doesn't necessarily rewrite the book on puzzle games, but all in all, it's a solid package that is well worth a look if you are into the genre; especially Tetris-like puzzlers.

  1. This game made the Tetris genre addicting again by turning the whole mechanic upside down. It's been years, that I've been so amazed by and addicted to a Tetris type game. The presentation is flawless, controls work perfectly. There are different game modes, that get unlocked bit by bit. I don't have a single complaint and just LOVE to fire this game up. Therefore a shining 10! Collapse

    Dream of pixels takes you to another state of mind. The vanishing cloud underneath your fingers feels in looks magical, and while it does take another form of the well known game, it is just a whole new experience with a whole "dreamy" touch... Expand
  3. It's obvious, that reviews below me were written by developers. What state of mind? Some guys almost 30 years ago already did all your work. It's just Tetris in reverse. This game is too familiar and totally overrated in my humble opinion. Expand
