    Good, but asking price is a joke. If it wasn't for the large amount of levels in the storymode, and variety of game modes in general, i would say its a free online flash minigame at best. (bought on -85% sale)

    Decent game - but definitely not TETRIS!
    The major problem with this game is probably its pace - you simply end up frantically clicking all the squares to make a match just to beat the timer, and in such havoc - strategy loses its meaning.
    However, i spend about 10 hours enjoying the game.

    Excellent puzzle game and I generally hate puzzle games. TONS of depth; more game modes than I care to count, a ~10 hour long campaign that challenges you at every turn by gradually increasing the difficulty, acclimating you to new modes and concepts while setting different victory conditions. If you bought this game because you're an AI War fan then you will not be disappointed (WithExcellent puzzle game and I generally hate puzzle games.

    When it clicks, though, you'll find yourself in the middle of a thoughtful and intricate puzzle game, in which you feel more like an electrical engineer than the magic builder or celestial removal man most match-three titles cast you as.

    Once you wade into it, Tidalis is a charmingly lo-fi package that positively drowns you in content.

    The bottom line is that Tidalis is a flexible, smart, refreshingly unique puzzle design, and it's situated neatly into a large generous package. It's far better than any mere puzzle game should be.
