Meteos

Meteos (2005) is a critically acclaimed tile-matching puzzle game developed by Q Entertainment for the Nintendo DS, produced by Tetsuya Mizuguchi and designed by Masahiro Sakurai (creator of Kirby). Players use the stylus to ignite and launch falling colored blocks from 32 unique alien planets, each with its own gravitational pull, to prevent the screen from filling up—a premise inspired by Missile Command, The Matrix, and 24. It became the number-one DS game in the UK during its first week, earning praise as a fresh take on the genre alongside Tetris and Lumines, and won the CESA Game Awards' Outstanding Performance Award. The game was later ported to mobile phones (2006) and Xbox Live Arcade (2008), and spawned a sequel, Meteos: Disney Magic, in 2007.
