Well I got it and played for about 30 minutes. My early impressions are pretty good. You basically move this block formation around with the C-Stick, flip it around Tetris style with the A and B buttons, and then you can turn it with the control pad. Your goal is to successfully fit the shape through a hole in the wall its flying towards. There are gems in certain spots in the hole in the wall which give bonus points if successfully collected. Another bonus is making the shadow from the shape projected on wall pass over all parts of the hole in the wall. Depending on how many moves it takes to do this, you get a higher bonus. Also, on each stage there is a time limit. There are online leaderboards which are quite seamlessly integrated. When you beat a stage you will see your current rank on the leaderboard, the score of the number 1 ranked person, and be asked if you would like to submit your latest score. It's all very smooth and pleasant. The only complaint I really have is the damn controls. Don't get me wrong, they're are quite functional but it is VERY hard to turn and flip the block correctly in the limited time. Its more an issue of too much control than "bad control" and it seems the way the controls are is as good as they could have been. Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase and would give this game an 8/10.
