Looking for a puzzle game

  • I am searching for a computer puzzle game that is somewhat like Tetris but the blocks are all set up for you at the bottom. You are given a block and you must find out exactly where to drop it in order for the other blocks to collapse/be distorted, all blocks will drop level by level until there is nothing left. As I remember the game gives you multiple tries and there is no time limit, there are about 20 levels to this game. I have been searching for this game for a while and would appreciate it if someone could find it for me. This game is not a flash based game, you have to install this game (Like an application). Information requested: Name of game and if possible a link Note: It could be a discontinued MSN game.


  • PS - A Japanese version of the game is called Puyo Puyo: http://puyo.b3.nu/


  • I can only think of one game that looks like Tetris but starts at the bottom. http://zone.msn.com/en/cubis/default


  • They are Colored blocks, just like tetris blocks. Thanks for your help jpwoof but that is not the game, also thanks googleexpert but thts not the game either,


  • Hi!! Is this the game? http://www.miniclip.com/crashdown.htm


  • Hi eec-ga, While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, it may be of interest. Some of the many variants of Tetris either do by default or can do, according to preferences, what you describe. I remember especially the arcade version of Tetris that could be played for prizes, and an old PC game called EGAINT. Both started with a random set of blocks at the bottom of the screen that could only be removed in the standard Tetris manner, by filling in the rest of the line that they appeared on. Best of luck with your search!


  • the game you are looking for is called BLOCKOUT. I have a copy from an abandonware site and it still works on XP.


  • emjay, thanks for your research but the game I am looking for has no 2 player option and was created in 2000-2001.


  • Hi eec, Can you tell me if there are Colored blocks in this Puzzle Game you are looking for? By the way, could "Pipe Fun" be what you are looking for? http://game.downloadatoz.com/pipe-fun/ Thanks. -googleexpert


  • No, the game I?m looking for has a set amount of pieces already on the base. No blocks are added by the game other than the one you are given in order to try to collapse the whole. But thanks anyway


  • Hi eec, This sounds something like Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, where the aim is to set off the biggest possible chain reaction by linking same-colored "beans": http://www.vgmuseum.com/pics2/drrobotnik.html Emjay
