More often than not though the whole blessed thing goes ‘pear shaped’ due to reasons beyond your control, resulting in all three lives being lost in one fell swoop. This mode grants three lives which are – theoretically – supposed to account for three blocks falling from the tower. It should be a pure and simple experience, but in practice it’s the complete opposite due to spells and larger blocks featuring here too. Sadly, this is also the case for the endless mode. While entertaining in essence, it also means that skilled players never really feel rewarded for their efforts. The randomised nature of spells and such makes online multi-player matches wildly unpredictable. We’re talking mere millimetre precision here. It also doesn’t help that the controls are rather finicky, requiring gentle taps to line up blocks perfectly.
