Tech Review: Tricky Towers

Tricky Towers crosses Tetris with 9/11, as you try to control a cascade of falling shapes into architectural cohesion until they crumble to the ground. There are the same type of L-shaped and T junction blocks from Tetris, but when you achieve a perfect line of blocks they don't vanish. Instead, your tower continues to rise like a millionaire's palace in Dubai. Reach a finish line at the top of the screen and, hey presto, you win. While there is space for single-player, multiplayer party modes spice up a party like a bowl of Vindaloo. Players compete in Race mode to reach the top. Survivor mode challenges you to build secure tower, rather than one that crumbles like a Jenga atrocity. Each player has a floating magical wizard, whose powers can be used for good or arseholery: to straighten up your rickety tower, or sabotage the enemy's efforts.
