    The question isn't if it's worth your time. It clearly is. The real question is if -- for only ten dollars -- you're ready to spend every free second you have in front of your computer, dominated by Critical Mass. It might be a blasphemous comparison, but this is an obsession of mine that's nearing Tetris proportions.

    Despite - or possibly because of - its simple premise, Critical Mass is a game that's hard to put down once you get into a groove, and its a game we're likely to see a lot more of on handheld platforms once word gets around.

    Critical Mass is the type of game everyone can pick up and enjoy in seconds, and yet come back to time and time again and still be challenged.

    I really enjoyed playing Critical Mass and I'll be playing this for quite some time.

    Definitely an interesting and visually-attractive take on the standard four-in-a-row colour matching formula, but in practice it's just too fiddly for us to truly recommend. With some more tweaking to the gameplay mechanics and notification area, this game has the potential to be a great-looking, addictive puzzler, but at the moment it's simply too frustrating to play.

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.… Full Review »

It's a matching game with a slow, building tension. Ozgeek's review is wrong, the slow rotation is a good thing, and the controls are fine. Critical mass is a great blend of a matching game and an action game, much like Tetris. No doubt Ozgeek would prefer that games like tetris would not speed up either. Finally, Critical Mass has that "just one more turn" addictiveness that is the hallmark of the Civilisation series.… Full Review »

    Looks isometric, yet is two dimensional in main mechanism of block placing.
