Reception

The game received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation site Metacritic. [1] GamePro said, "Action mode is fast-paced, as you seek out a fresh pathway for a pursing tank, which becomes immobile if gel blocks stand in its way. Puzzle mode, however, is less stressful."

Since its release, the game sold 8,712 units worldwide by January 2011. [7]

Notes
