Addicting Game

I really like this game...becaue it's got that "puzzle" quality to it. It's really addicting, and the music is good, too (I especially like the "Winter" themed music). I got so close to the achievement for playing for two hours straight, but then my Droplitz ran out. Grog! It's really fun, though!

Ok game. On sale on Steam for $1.99 this weekend (8-22-2009). Takes a couple tries to pick up the idea. Not as exciting as I would have thought, given the generally high scores and comments I've seen online.

For me, $10 is too much. I might pick it up on PC for $2 though.

Fun and addictive

I had a great time playing Droplitz. The mechanics are fresh yet identafiable enough to make it a real classic. I think Droplitz will be around for a long time to come. I would love to see a sequel (hopefully with multiplayer). I still have quite a few boards to unlock and feel like I get better each time I play. It's nice to have that much depth in a initially simple seaming puzzle game, this is something I havn't seen in a long time. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Surprisingly Strong Title

Droplitz strikes me as a sleeper. On paper, in videos and in shots it looks remarkably dull. I gave it a shot, though. I'm a big fan of Atlus. Sure, they've brought some stinkers out, but for the most part I find that I like the titles they bother to publish.

At first the title was rather dull. This was largely because I wasn't sure what I was doing. Your job isn't necessarily to get drops to the bottom of the screen, but rather to just make complete lines for the drops to go through.

Once I figured this out, I found the game to be a lot of fun. It's an interesting combination of Tetris and Pipe Dreams that works surprisingly well. This is one of the few "new" ideas in puzzle games that is actually rewarding, intelligent AND fun.

fun but not my favorite

I tried out Droplitz for a while today and just cold not get into it. They don't use over 1/2 the screen and it just doesn't seem that hard. Maybe I need to get to the higher levels or something, but for the 30 minutes I played it was ok.

Visually it looks good but not as addicting as I thought it might be.
