game is fun.
Nice new take on the genre. Pretty cool and challenging
The game's concept is well thought-out, especially for having been published less than a year ago. Although the annoying crow has a point about the first few levels being slow, they get decently challenging by Level 7. The story's cast is quite entertaining, even as early in the story as I am, while still being believable enough to be relatable. You don't need consistently reminded the main characters are students: you can tell from the special sort of unhinged their conversations end up being (such as how drinking virtual-reality soda would work under deep-dive immersion). I have yet to explore any non-story modes, but from what I've played, I expect them to be quite fun as well. Even though they will lack the amusing dialogue (and as such, the mentioning of things like Electric Chicken Mech Man), I figure they'll make up for it in their inventive takes on the base gameplay. Even the characters not present in the story fit the game's design, while being distinct enough to add to the replay factor. I can hardly wait to try the Arena modes as the Slay Yourself dude. All in all, it's an amazing entry into the world of falling-block puzzles, and the title mechanic even offers an innovative twist on the boardstate itself! Overall Rating 7.83 / 10 - Lots of potential from where I stand, but I haven't played enough to give further points. P.S.: Also, dude from the other review, the reason Tetris won that lawsuit you mentioned was due to the clear visual similarities, as copyright only protects the narrative and aesthetic elements of a game (the sprites, models, music, and story). Mechanical elements, such as the falling-block system that defines the genre, are not copyrightable material, at least according to US Code Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 102(b). If you'd like to know more, turn on your comments and be open to logical debate.

"Mana Cycle" is a very badly made Early Access hybrid E-book and Tetris ripoff, so I guess the most interesting part about this is waiting to see if The Tetris Company LLC will once more step in and take legal action to enforce their copyright over Tetris, which the developer is unabashedly infringing on here. It's true, check out Tetris Holdings LLC vs Xio Interactive, District of New Jersey 2012. Guess who won? There's a weird bunch of fake reviews for the game from brand new accounts that only ever reviewed this game, which of course is highly sus... remember that from the new FTC regulations of review manipulation, fake reviews are now a federal crime. Oops. This has some really awful looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. The drawings (I won't misuse the word "illustration" here) are nightmarishly bad, actually physically unpleasant to look at. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. It's coupled with some of the absolute worst high school anime club dropout fanfiction writing I ever saw. It really is hard to say if the writing is worse than the "art", but whoever wins, we all lose. It's free for now, but the developer intends to charge for this if it ever leaves Early Access... but considering the poor public reception, it's likely this will not be one of the 25% of games that ever gets finished and leaves Early Access. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

Its pretty good
Pretty cool game. I like the combat system. z?man's kind of cool I guess;
Тактическая головоломка с элементами стратегии. Плюсы: Уникальная механика — оригинальный способ управления маной; Разнообразие режимов — история, бесконечный и аркадный режимы; Локальный мультиплеер — возможность играть с друзьями. Минусы: Сложный геймплей — может потребовать времени на освоение; Однотипные миссии — мало разнообразия в задачах; Повторяемость — некоторые уровни могут казаться похожими. Итог: Mana Cycle — для любителей логических игр и головоломок. Привлекает уникальной механикой и разнообразием режимов, но может показаться сложной и однообразной.
