Gameplay

At the start of a level, crates begin falling from the sky. Each one has a picture of the block it contains on it. The players have to stack these blocks and build a tower up to the hot-air-balloon to finish the level, but it is not that simple: the water at the bottom of the level rises and if the water reaches a row with a hole in it, the row will be destroyed; [3] if the player decides to take a shortcut, the water will rise faster. [4] Also, several enemies randomly appear, some stealing crates, and some dragging the player into the water. [5] There are also items in bubbles that give the player a power-up or help to destroy an opponent's towers.

Reception

The game was met with positive to mixed reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 73% and 75 out of 100 for the Game Boy Advance version; [6] [10] 68.33% and 64 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version; [7] [11] 66.18% and 64 out of 100 for the GameCube version; [8] [12] and 64.77% and 58 out of 100 for the Xbox version.
