AstroPop Deluxe

Amazing classic. Don't forget to check forum discussion pinned for savefile fix.

This game right here came out on the Original Xbox XBLA? and later the 360 XBLA? Weird... Welp anyway this game is weird i'll just say that im scared to give it a bad review cause that alien girl might kill me.

One of the best arcade puzzle games of all time. While not as popular as some other games like Peggle, Puzzle Bobble and Zuma, it's leagues ahead of most other puzzle games despite appearing quite simple on the surface. Since all you're doing is matching four colored blocks it can seem deceptively easy, but as the game progresses you really need to carefully time your launches, use your special ability wisely and make sure to target the powerups to succeed. It's casual at the start, but when you get toward the end of the game you really need to know the game mechanics and how all the powerups work. I just wish there were achievements for it, but you can technically "beat it." If you reach level 32 with all four characters, you will get an end game sequence. This takes 12-15 hours to do, though.

Would not buy it for $5, but not a bad older 'match 3' type game. plays fine on modern machines (2025)

I missed this game so much, and I finally fixed it to enable game saves.
