It's a puzzler in the same vein as Tetris or Puyo Pop, you control it with the arrow keys(left and right move the "controller", up = switch the two currently controlled blocks and down = shoot down the two currently controlled blocks), the goal (of the only currenlty implemented mode) is to stay alive for as long as possible(game over when any block not in your active row touches the roof). You destroy blocks by sending down same coloured "A" blocks on them.
Ok, that was a bad description, but you should get the hang of it when you try it out.

C&C please!

This is a fun little game except that I hate the control scheme. I dunno -- something about hitting up to swap the blocks just feels uncomfortable to me. I want to press the space bar to swap the blocks. And maybe 'd' to drop them. Where do you plan on going with this game?

Hmm, I'll add a control setup :)

And I think I'm planning on making a small shareware(perhaps freeware? Don't really know how much I want to put into this) game, I've already changed a bit and I'm working on adding a puzzle mode(I'm thinking of having several modes, one marathon(the one this release had), one puzzle(you try to clear out the board as fast as possible), one versus(you try to beat your friend/a computer)).

Well, that's the general idea anyway :P
