Is it still worth playing?

A puzzle game from 2016 in which you clear a board of colored blocks by taking them three of the same color at a time, always from the bottom of a column. Blocks never swap places, so every move has to be planned: each puzzle has one or two paths, and a wrong pick can leave it unsolvable and force a restart. The story mode has 12 worlds and more than 350 puzzles. Most worlds add a new kind of block, such as gray blocks that switch on and off or wildcards that match any of their colors. Each world ends in a puzzle race against its character, and tokens let you skip a level. The arcade modes include Heartbeat, where the wall keeps descending, and an endless Infinipuzzle. Battle, Tug of War and Puzzle Race pit players against each other or against bots. Every board still makes it worth playing now, since each has a solution and one wrong pick ruins it.
