Zoop is a puzzle game that doesn't reach the heights of Tetris. The match and mix colour shooting works well as a concept, but the execution is a bit off. There are apparently about 100 levels, but it is unlikely that anyone would be able to achieve that due to the extreme difficulty. Perhaps it would be better if they used a 3x3 playing square instead of 4x4, because it is hard to manage all the different pillars as they grow. They could have also cut back by a colour or two, at least in the earlier levels. With the fumbly controls, it is difficult to keep the stacks in check. Hardcore puzzle fans might like this, but I think I will stick with Tetris.
