Falling block puzzles
Group Description
Tetris can be seen as the mother of all
falling block puzzles, but the concept has since been cloned, expanded and stretched a whole lot, with notable examples being
Dr. Mario,
Puyo Puyo and
Columns. Games centred around putting together falling pieces into particular patterns, thereby eliminating them, fit into this group.
