I tried the demo few weeks ago.
It's an interesting game, I could see how it would get addicting if you're into tetris style games.
I had a couple issues with it on my iPAQ 2210. The control wasn't as smooth as I expected so it was sometimes hard to rotate the ring correctly since it would pause for a moment then jump 2 or 3 spaces. In games like this it's critical to have smooth movement, especially near the end of the levels since you're frantically trying to get the rings rotated correctly and you don't have any time to adjust for an overshoot.
I also had a very strange problem with it where after playing it my stylus taps would be off. When I'd tap the system reacted like I tapped a little higher or lower than I did. Seemed like it must have messed with the calibration somehow. It was always corrected by a soft reset but it was pretty annoying to have to reset after playing it.
If those 2 issues are (or have been) corrected I'd recommend the game to anyone that likes tetris like games. It's a really interesting twist on the genre. (pun partially intended)

Woohoo. Editor-in-training. Congrats. =)
About the game, I have a similar experience with stevehiner's.
The control is jumpy, and during 2 days of gameplay, it crashed more than 5 times already. Some stability issue, I guess.

Check out the new version, quite a few changes, mostly branding and interface. Working on a review for PocketGamer, it's pretty fun. As for the 1 post warning, I have no clue what that's about.

I have been playing the game for a few weeks now and have had no problems (Toshiba e805). It has NEVER crashed for me.
If you want a game that can be quite addicting, give this one a try! I find that Concentrix helps the long commute fly by.

Actually, since you decided to post this in public, you should respond in public explaining your statement...
