   Critical Mass is a great game that takes the Bejeweled/Connect 4 style game play of matching colours into 3 dimensions. The game is easy to play but very hard to master and has very simple but inviting visuals. The only major complaint I have is that it I can see it getting repetitive quite quickly. Definitely worth its low price and I will be recommending it to my friends. It also has a colour blind mode which is a good feature.… Expand

   Critical Mass is a good game. Sure, it could give you more incentive to continue playing and it could use a bit more polish but for 2 dollars this is a great value. And quite frankly, you really won't mind the missing features when you're desperately trying to rotate the camera to clear that last couple of blocks while the blocks are shaking and the red ring is threatening to consume everything.… Expand

   Critical Mass could be one of those highly addictive block puzzle games with a fun, 3-dimensional twist to it. But as it is now it just feels beta. The most important thing is the lack of control options. Twisting the cube around should not be done holding your mouse button when you're also using a mouse button to launch the blocks. It doesn't feel comfortable and it consumes too much time. A mouse-keyboard option seems to be a really easy way to fix it, but there isn't one and I don't know why. Controller options would probably be even better for a lot of people.
   Second I think the time limit should be more visible to the player. It's not clear enough when critical mass is about to reach, I think a time bar or something like that is a better indicator.
   I'm okay with being really bad at this game and running out of time (although the game could do with a really easy classic mode), but I want that to be at my own fault or lack of insight, not at the fault of control mechanics. That's not something I can improve on.… Expand

   Pretty boring. I thought it would be like a reverse rubix cube puzzle game but the camera/aiming controls are awkward, the music is the same 10 sec loop featured in the trailer repeating forever, and the combo system is shallow. There's plenty of other good puzzle games on Steam so skip this.… Expand
