Tetris Creator Alexey Pajitnov Moves From Squares To Spheres With Marbly

For years, our society has been addicted to Tetris. Now, creator Alexey Pajitnov hopes to enchant us all over again with a new title for iOS devices called Marbly.

The new title is published by WildSnake Software and features a match-three play style. The game is free to download and comes with time, score, and moves challenges. Additionally, there are 180 daily puzzles designed by Pajitnov.

Players can earn coins to unlock new content by competing in the daily challenges. Coins can also be purchased and used for hints, solutions, undo moves, and full restarts. The goal is to clear the whole board, and limiting the number of restarts by tying them to purchases may put off some players. Thankfully, the title is free to try and available right now. Only time will tell if Marbly is as timeless or addictive as Tetris.
