Aim/Objective
With this puzzle game, there is no end. You keep playing until there are no remaining spaces left on the grid that any of your 1-3 shapes will fit in. As there is no end to this game, the further you progress the more score you will gain. There is a personal high score that is shown clearly next to your current score when you are playing, so you always know what you have to beat!


Gameplay
I for one find this game extremely addictive, constantly trying to beat your high score with different strategies, even though it depends on good luck when given your 3 shapes.
You have a blank 10x10 grid, and you are given 3 random, preset patterns of 1x1 tiles in different shapes, colors and sizes. To play the game, you have to place these shapes on the grid until you have used the three you are given, you are then given 3 more and so on. In order for the grid not to fill up and to continue the game, you must get rid of some of the tiles. To do this you need to have 10 tiles in a line going from one side of the grid to the other, or from the top of the grid to the bottom. If you have 10 tiles in a line, that line of tiles will turn back into empty spaces adding onto your score, and leaving you with more room to place more tiles. The game gets trickier as you progress, you have less room on the grid to work with, having shapes that are too tall of wide to fit in some places and in some cases the remainder of the grid cannot fit any of your shapes in, game over. The game runs very smoothly on my iPhone 5s and is very easy to navigate around. What I like about the game is how simple the idea is and how easy it is to play, you do not need to be smart to play this game, all you need is the ability to move your fingers across the screen.


Graphics
The graphics of this game are very aesthetically pleasing, the colours used are very easy on the eyes especially with the day and night color schemes:

The game uses drag-and-drop features to place the shapes on the grid in very fluid motions, when you drop the shape onto the grid it neatly snaps to the grid in a very smooth transition. I also think that the audio in this game suits the calming theme and compliments the relaxing atmosphere.
Overall I love the graphics in this game, I have never had any lag or graphical issues with this game and I have never heard of any people that have.


Controls
The controls for this game are very simple, it consists of dragging and dropping the desired shape onto the chosen position on the grid. The menus are never more than a click away and are very easy to navigate which adds to the simpleness of the game. You can easily play this game with one hand so it is helpful if you do not have both hands available, although the precision of placing the shapes is definitely better when holding the device in one hand and using one finger from the other hand to play.
