Looks verrrry similar to a Flash game I played a while back: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/bloxorz

Hope the guy who made it's involved somehow, and they're not just ripping off his idea.

If this isn't by the same guy then there is a definite law suit possibility.

This is the exact same game except with flashier graphics. I actually thought it was the same game spruced up for PSN, so I assume it is the same people making it. If not then I expect a Joystiq report on it in the next few months.

You can expect Joystiq to report on whatever you want but PopCaps continued existance should prove aint shit that can be done about this. For some reason casual and flash based game designs really are a wild west of development. I mean, look at how many Tetris clones are on iPhone. Not to mention match 3 designs.

You can either embrace the fact that this game is coming anywhere or utterly refuse to buy any puzzle game in the past 5-7 years since not a single new thing has come out in that time. Meanwhile I, on the other hand, will continue to play Poker Smash without qualms of ripping stuff off.

Thank! I've been looking for that game! Couldn't remember what it was called. Yeah definitely lawsuit worthy though if it's not the same people, Bloxors has been out for at least a year now right?

Looks fun and well polished. Whether or not it's worth the $10 is a matter for debate though.

The game looks amazingly polished. It's too bad you couldn't get many puns squared away into the article.

The presentation is really slick, but I have to agree with the guy who pointed out the Flash game: it's extremely similar, especially in the choices of button symbols.

I'm reminded of Cu-On-Pa when looking at this.

Which is good. I really liked that game.
