This game was created by a reader of Your Sinclair, Arno van der Hulst, and sent in to them for inclusion on their Cover Tape. It appeared with Issue 81, dated September 1992, as part of their Magnificent 7 series of cover mounted cassettes. The idea of the game is to plonk together three or more blocks of one colour, causing them to disappear from the play area. You can't alter the orientation of the blocks, but by pressing fire you can rotate the colours. Once you've connected enough blocks to reduce the number at the right hand side of the screen to zero, you move on to the next level.
