Nice, but not quite there yet
The game is nice, it really is. Its totally worth the 1.99 it costs right now.
However, theres a lot of screen estate wasted with those buttons, especially since they are not really helping when playing. I find them completely superfluous, this is a touch device and no GameBoy. Using the gestures is not the best way either, because I think they feel very strange. EAs Tetris does that a lot better and smoother. I know its hard to do something new without copying the big competitor, but in this case, Tetris gestures are almost impossible to outdo.
So please get rid of those unnecessary buttons, even though they are supposed to be "nostalgic" and improve the gestures - then its a five-star time killer. Still not a Tetris-killer, but very close.
