The aim is to arrange groups of colours and then make contact with an explosion block. This destroys all the same-colour blocks in one group, larger groups earning more points. More points are also earned for combos (where multiple groups explode at the same time) and chains (where blocks falling as the result of an explosion cause further explosions.) This same gameplay would be implemented in the 2001 game, ''[[Rampage Puzzle Attack]]''. ==''Super Drop Mania''== The sequel, '''''Super Drop Mania''''' was also developed by Ninai, and published by [[Fathammer]] [[2005 in video games|in 2005]].<ref>[http://www.mobygames.com/game/super-drop-mania ''Super Drop Mania''] at [[MobyGames]]</ref> It is designed for portable devices, being released for [[Symbian OS]] and [[Windows Mobile]]. It met with good critical reaction, reviewers highlighting the floating game-play area, rounded graphics and entertaining gameplay. One review criticising the lack of a "one more go" feeling found in other ''Tetris'' variants,<ref>[http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Super_Drop_Mania.php ''Super Drop Mania'' review] at All Abount Symbian</ref> whilst another felt that it was even more addictive.<ref>[http://www.mobiletechreview.com/games/super-drop-mania.htm ''Super Drop Mania'' review] at Mobile Tech Review</ref> ==External links== *http://www.ninai.com/ – official site ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Europe-exclusive video games]] [[Category:Video games developed in Finland]] {{puzzle-videogame-stub}} [[fi:Drop Mania]]
