This has got to be the most bizarre copy cat project I’ve ever seen.

Usually when people were tackling each other to make the next great Tetris-clone, they stood back and basically changed a few visual elements. Puyo Puyo by example had you connect 4 of the same color, rather than form a line. Geom Cube on the other hand goes for a literal perspective change; imagine playing Tetris as if you were at the top of the game field, looking down into the field.

So now besides trying to “fill the gap” rather than the single line, you also need to keep a mental list of where pieces are in both space and height. If you accidentally leave a piece blocking an edge, you need to remember it’s there underneath your other pieces as they drop. Once you get several mistakes high, trying to repair the damage proves too confusing.

There’s also not much in the way of variety with the sparse options, so if you can’t get used to the new view, you’re not going to enjoy anything about the game.

•  Released in two different versions. See below.
  
  
• ESRB variant between the two versions, explained below.
  
  
• Call it artistic humor, but the jewel case version carries a rather odd layout visual. The star in the Technos logo lines up just right with the 'polygon robot' in the background, causing the robot to have a very phallic problem on his hands.



• This and the helicopter game Strike Point are the only 2 games Technos ever published on the PlayStation.



• Geom is the shortened version of Geometric

Aside from some very minor layout, the only difference between the two packages is that the jewel case version supports the newer "E" ESRB rating, rather than the older "K-A".
