    Ridiculous! Bought the game based on good reviews, turned out that only 10min of gameplay in storymode was included. Which was very basic and simple. To continue 1,5 times the already paid price is asked. For me this was a complete waste of money!

    am i missing something, i love match three games, all styles, but this one i found it boring, i really didn't get it, i moved though 2 full levels and still didn't get the purpose or why i should be enjoying this game, i got for free on XO so i already had my expectations low... but still it was manage to surpass them, boring game, dont even bother

    So much fun! Never has a match-three puzzler been quite so addictive - and challenging. The puzzles are actually difficult; other match-threes like Bejewelled et al are quite mind-numbing but Tumblestone actually requires brain power and it's all the better for it.

    Maybe not the best puzzle game but certainly a good one, very colorful and fun too.

    Tumblestone is "just" a puzzle game, but honestly what it does it does it well. Based on simple mechanics, it can still require some important thinking and anticipation. Various modes are there to spice the experience a little, and the best is the possibility to connect 3 other controllers and play against friends. Not a AAA by any mean but a nice experience, especially to play with yourTumblestone is "just" a puzzle game, but honestly what it does it does it well.

    I find it incredible that people vote so negative to one of the best puzzle games in the history of video games. A match 3, but with new mechanics and incredible game modes. Difficult to master and super fun to play with friends online and on the same screen.
    Originality is everywhere and it deserves a place in the Olympus of puzzle games with tiles.

    You can spend years playing it like us and you'll always find something different, some challenge that apparently you can't handle.
    I don't know what people are looking for to vote it so bad. Tumblestone eats and **** on Candy Crush and other nasty clones. A must if you like games like Tetris, Tetris 2, Tetris Attack, Dr Mario, Columns, Dossuni Ganseki Battle, Pac Attack, Super Puyo-Puyo, Pikiinyal, Tetris Battle Gaiden, Magical Drop, Puzzle Bobble and few more I have left to review among the true puzzle games in history.
    Tumblestone shines above ALL of them with its own light!    … Expand

    Tumblestone is a great puzzle game that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre. You will find yourself frustrated when you have to restart a level but absolutely ecstatic when you solve a difficult puzzle. That feeling is something that only the best puzzle games provide.

    If you are at all a fan of puzzle games, play Tumblestone. Its intelligent spin on a simple mechanic forces players to plan ahead and think about the consequences of their actions. There is a veritable ton of single-player content, which unfortunately must be completed in order to unlock the rule-changing modifiers for use in the game’s arcade mode. It truly shines when playing with friends in the same room as you all shout expletives while simultaneously thinking that the winner must be a complete genius.

    If you are a fan of the Match-3 puzzle game genre and you're looking for a meaty title that offers 40+ hours of fun, Tumblestone is a good choice.
