Slydris – Family Game Review
Slydris is a Family/Entertainment/Puzzle game from Radiangames Inc, first launched in 26th July 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 37+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Slydris Stand Out
The #1 iOS Game of 2012 according to GameTrailers.com!
"Without doubt the finest puzzle game we've ever played on our mobiles." – Modojo.com (5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a puzzle game that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best of the genre" – EuroGamer.net
"Perfect touch controls never let you down. Manages to find a unique twist on line-formation gameplay." – Gamezebo.com (4.5 out of 5)
Slydris is a unique and engaging puzzle game with a simple premise but deceptively deep gameplay:
- Slide and drop blocks to create full lines of blocks.
- Create combos of falling blocks and clearing lines to fill up your bomb meter faster.
- Create a row of a single color for a color burster.
- Other special blocks (Shatter, Upcoming, Locked, and Magnet) add gameplay variety and challenge.
The three modes are Infinite Mode, Zen Mode, and Survival Mode:
-
In Infinite Mode, a new set of blocks drops after every move you make, so take as much time as you want. Clear 25 lines to move onto the next level.
-
Zen Mode functions similarly to Infinite Mode, but the difficulty is more dynamic, there are no achievements or scores to worry about, and your game will never end (in Infinite Mode, the game ends if the stack reaches the top row).
-
In Survival Mode, you have 10 seconds to make as many moves as you can to clear the lines of blocks, then a barrage of blocks will drop, and the cycle begins again. Quick thinking and nimble fingers are required to do well.
Slydris is a highly polished and customizable puzzle game for all ages. Select from 3 music tracks and dark or light backgrounds.
Slydris supports Game Center Achievements and Leaderboards, iPad Retina Display, and iCloud saving.
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Hey idiots! Put a #*~$&@ undo button in your game.
Kind of a simplified Tetris. Very enjoyable.
Perfect. Needs iPhone 6 update.
We enjoy playing slydris and find it quite challenging.
Very addictive game , very entertaining.
One of the most addictive games we ever played.
We prefer to pay for apps so we do not have to deal with ads. We have no freemium apps on our ipad. We never had an ad in Slydris until today. Bye bye 5 stars and wecolme 3 star rating. Get rid of pop up ads and we'll upgrade you back to 5 stars. It sure is depressing seeing what is happening to the App Store. Paid apps going rogue, freemium taking over, greed, greed, greed.
Title says all. Love it on Kindle, but we retired the Kindle. No go on iPad.
Games good music good. Like a peaceful game play. 5 stars :).
We rarely play games like this. Just can't seem to enjoy ourselves. We envied people who seemed glued to their screens, lost in the act of playing a simple game. Then we found this! If we hadn't had this on our iPad mini while sitting in the ER waiting for a friend to finish X-rays and tests, we would have lost our mind! Great app. Grab it and also get Luke's other games. Nice work, great game.
This game is better than all the new Tetris-types. It's addictive, thought-provoking, and fun. We don't play the speed version. When we play the "Infinity" we regularly make it to level 47 or so. So, if at all possible, when the game is next updated, could you please allow for starting at more advanced levels instead of just level 30+? Thanks for the great game. No doubt we've gotten our money's worth.
We play this on our Kindle Fire HD, and on our iPhone. It works perfectly on both platforms. Very enjoyable way to pass time.
Really time killing and also fun.
Great game! Challenging and addictive, yet simple enough to pick up in just a few minutes.
Just downloaded and tried this. Fun, challenging, excellent, attractive.
This is a very high quality app. The game runs very smooth and is such a challenge to play. It's almost excessively addictive, but you need to catch your breath once you finally bite it. We recommend this to any puzzle style player out there. If you're not a puzzle style player give it a try anyway.
Love the game, pretty addicting from the start.
Nice graphics & controls, worth getting.
Simple to pick up, hard to master. A puzzler close to perfection. Well worth it's money.
Beautiful, fresh, and challenging puzzler with several modes for added variety. Another winner from Radian.
Challenging. Engaging. Although a puzzle mode would probably be a worthy upgrade to the game to assist users in being more precise and intent in their movements to develop techniques. Zen mode is a great way to start off. The short tutorial and the progressive tutorials are fruitful, especially as reminders of the complexities of the game. No debugging problems. Very direct instructions.
Can be relaxing, can be played for short periods if wanted, requires some reasoning and it's possible to improve — all things that make a good puzzle game. Our only beef is that when we finally fail to clear the blocks, it shows our final score, but not the level we were able to reach. And there are no historical scores that show us what we just did, achieved or didn't achieve.
Pretty cool app, different modess and really cool music. We wish the theme song would be an option to play in the game since its the best song… We really like the music, you guys should add more tracks and a shuffle while u play.
Like most games of this type as the speed ramps up the controls become less predictable. Pretty fun on the lower levels though.
Exhilarating fun. Fun stuff. And looks cool.
A really fun and original game.
This is definitely our favorite Tetris type game.
Awesome game. Could use a bit more polish on the game play. The one thing we don't like is there is no UNDO in zen mode. If you let go by mistake, there is no way to fix it.
Very smooth gameplay. Addictive, too, can't stay away.
Pick this game up. It's a lot of fun.
We bought this game for Mac. But we wanted it on the go, so we bought it twice. It's that good.
We were just going to try it. An hour later… Lots of fun, good game.
Fun puzzle app, good music, graphics, and enough variety of game play to keep things interesting.
Great game, but sometimes touch is not accurate enough on iphone screen. If you grab the wrong block at the wrong time, it can hose you. Don't let this stop you from trying it.
App gets stuck on 6th level. Very disappointed.
Bought it after reading reviews, opened and thought "Oh no! Just like Tetris!". But after playing it we knew this was a far better challenge and WAY more fun. You think out a strategy instead of just reacting to falling pieces. But it and enjoy.
We like the fact that there's no time limit which really gives the game a unique twist that is more contemplative than frenzied.
We wondered if this game would be worth two fillers, but it totally is. We found it challenging yet fun. Every few levels, a new element enters the game making it very interesting.
This game is quite the rush. Game modes are all fantastic, love he color variances, huge combos with slow motion affects, really great overall puzzle action.
This looks really simple to play and it is, but there is a lot of depth and strategy to it. Also, the presentation is really great. This will be on our playlist for a long time.
Could use game center leader boards.
Fantastically made game! Wonderful looking UI and menus. Great puzzler gameplay. It's easy to understand, but difficult to apply well.
Very simple, but at the same time very compelling game play. Highly recommended.
Why should we be forced to live with where our blocks land? Let's move them after they've fallen. Such is the freedom of Slydris and the game is addicting as all get out. We love it and you will too. Buy it now.
We're a fan of Radiangames because of the interesting takes on games coupled with the cleanest graphics. Slydris does not disappoint. If you want a game like tetris that feels at home on a touchscreen, we recommend this.
It seems so basic, two colored pieces 1-3 segments long sounds like a real simplistic take on Tetris, but, dangit, it works.
Luminous is one of our all time favorite games, and this great puzzler has a lot of elements of that great game. Smooth controls, great graphics, music, and game play, this company knows how to do it right.
A good casual puzzler which puts to mind a game like Tetris, except as a game more suited to a touch screen and the casual driven nature of a smart phone.
Nail biting addictive fun! Read the great reviews.
Slydris plays like classic games of skill and doesn't need bells and whistles to impress. Each idea is well developed and works seamlessly with the overall game experience. A great game indeed.
