of three in a column fall from above, and you must arrange them and press the button to cycle through the color order to match three or more of the same.\u00a0 Except while in Columns you could only match colors horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, here you can match colors as long as they are next to each other.\u00a0 There are single player and multiplayer modes, and it has a neat paper graphics style.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PC (reviewed on Switch here).<\/p>\n<p>Play control is super simple.\u00a0 Use the control stick to move the pieces and press the button to cycle through the order of the colors in the block columns.\u00a0 When three or more of the same color touch each other, they\u2019ll disappear.\u00a0 Single player has a mission mode where you must complete stages with certain requirements.\u00a0 Mostly just matching certain colors and blocks, but sometimes you must clear out certain pieces even in the background.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t quite understand how that worked.\u00a0 There are also special pieces that give you random colors when they land, or bombs that can clear out rows and columns.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t sure which pieces did what either because of the lack of instructions.\u00a0 And that\u2019s really the only problem I had with the game, but otherwise it\u2019s pretty easy to figure out so it wasn\u2019t that bad.\u00a0 There are also local and online multiplayer modes and you can view your high scores on a leaderboard, too.\u00a0 In the options you can cycle through various color blind filters, which is nice.\u00a0 All in all, Papertris is a nice, serviceable little puzzler.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/papertris_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
