The title says it all. Slydris is a sorta-Tetris-like game (but not really) that was GameTrailer.com's iOS game of the year for 2012. Normally $1.99. Get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slydris/id509213094?mt=8 (It's also Amazon's Free App of the Day if you have a Kindle)
Looks like this will hit at 11 p.m. EST. An FYI to those with Android devices, this is currently free on Amazon's App Store as it's free app of the day.
Dev said August 6th (six hours left here). I wish that would be clearer. Hard to handle. When I click the link then the iTunes webpage opens with "Gratis" (Free) but the iTunes app wants €1.79. Otherwise the game is very recommended! I bought it Dec./'12 and enjoyed it very much. Slydris Radiangames 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.

Wonder if this is the app of the week. Though I think that goes free (well, you can find out it will be going free) mid-late Wednesday. radiangames Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Sep 24, 2011 158 60 28 Game Developer United States http://radiangames.com #9 radiangames, Aug 6, 2013 Don't know why it's having problems being free. To simplify things for iTunes and hopefully force it to work, I just changed it to be Free (forever), and will change it back to $1.99 tomorrow (~20 hours from now).

Highly recommended!! It's the "tetris" for phones / tablets. Since you can't properly play tetris without d-pad, this game somehow fills the gap. It is NOT a tetris but a game similar to tetris. chumpop Well-Known Member Aug 2, 2013 55 0 0 #13 chumpop, Aug 6, 2013 Awesome! I've been wanting to try this game, now there's no excuse.
