  • 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.Dream of Pixels is a beautiful falling blocks puzzle game, in reverse.

    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.

    The only potential flaws or suggestions I have for Dream of Pixels would be to allow players to switch out their tetromino or see upcoming tetrominoes for tactical strategies. Maybe it's not necessary, but seeing multiple pieces only in the puzzle mode's HUD made me miss them when they weren't in the others.

    It's amazing how fresh a classic puzzle game can feel with a little change in perspective. Dream of Pixels successfully revitalizes one of the most popular styles of puzzle, turns it on its head, and changes the rules while still keeping everything familiar.

    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.

    An interesting and engaging puzzler, Dream of Pixels isn't revolutionary, but it's an enjoyable beast all the same.

    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.

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!… Expand

    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 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
