60 of 187 · most liked firstI would like to like this game but some puzzles are truly unsolvable. Game doesn't introduce nothing new after playing for some time. Art style is ok, music and sounds too. Solution: play Puzzle Bobble or Magical Drop instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have this game in my library - it will be from a key bundle as I would not have bought it (especially at the price it is right now) and yet it tells me it is a trial version and yet even if I wanted to "UPGRADE" it takes me to an empty shopping cart. This game is way to simple for the price and the fact it's cut me off from a game I own means I don't have the time for this trash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite puzzle games. It's not like tetris, columns, lumines, puzzle fighter or puzzle bobble, but if you like any of them, you will probably like Tumblestone. I've been trying to finish the game for years but its final stages are really difficult. It's a long game, and just the story mode is going to give you A LOT of playing time. There are many levels divided into different maps with their own character and modadily. Each map unlocks new gameplay options. Beyond its extensive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont even bother playing this game lol you buy this game, and you have to pay AN ADDITIONAL 25 DOLLARS TO UPGRADE i'll rather go buy gta v for that money when its discounted
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A reasonably interesting match 3 game with a lot of content... but is way overpriced. Gameplay wise, you either are into the more thinking based gameplay, or you don't like how you can't just turn your brain half off and just match. Not having an undo button was quite annoying, since you need to restart the whole puzzle if you mess up. i personally found the game feeling a bit dry. The biggest glaring issue is how this game is charging $25, when it is basically like a free mobile game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A small logic game in which the player must think over his strategy to clear the board from cubes of different colors. The game supports both single player and multiplayer games. True, the online game is quite low. Pros: + Quite often you can get a "trial" version. + Achievements + Complexity of puzzles + Simple controls + Multiple modes + Collectible cards for sale + Nice music + Long company Minuses: - Having received a trial version on your account, Steam does not allow you to purchase the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is overpriced and is a basic concept that has been around since the early 2000's with almost nothing new added on top of it, even for my friends who love casual games I wouldn't recommend this to them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Obscura was fun, mystery game is torture to me ROFL but I'm very proud of matt Tumblestone and Chessplosion were genuinely fun games i got introduced to though. I also was rolled into a game that I played with my very close friend a decade ago before he passed, hit me in the feels big time

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tumblestone reminds me a lot of a game called Snood if it came with a Smith machine, since mouse movements are locked! Funny enough, it's also similar to Tetris. Although the game does change up the tile-matching genre with its own mechanics, I still wish it was a bit more polished and detailed. All in all, though, it's a great puzzle game. I haven't tried it on the Steam Deck, let alone played it since 2020, but I can't wait to play it again, especially with a friend. *Update: Nah, this game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best part about this game is that I never have to play it again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love this game. it scratches my ND brain just right. i got it when it came out on xbox years and years ago, then picked it up for steam and switch. not the biggest fan of the additional mechanics in the story mode, but that's just me. However---I LOVE the multiplayer aspect of it!! Being able to play online or with friends is SO fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would say this is OK. This is a puzzle/match 3 game. The graphics are decent. Ok music. The story is weird and nothing to write home about. No bugs or crashes. Works fine on win 7. Now, the full game seems to be very long, with an extensive campaign, PVP, and multiplayer. It includes cards and achievements. The puzzles seem to be mostly casual, at least the ones I managed to play, cause this is the reason for the thumbs down: I tried to purchase the full content and the system didn't allow…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had zero expectations and was blown away.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basically the greatest game, nothing else to really say!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →85. Tumblestone God this game is so ugly. It went buried on Steam for a long time because it chose the wrong price point, but honestly...! I think this game's pretty solid. A little thin, but I think *most* people understand it immediately and have fun just as fast. Great netcode too.
unlabelledView post →Simple, Fun, responsive puzzle game, where you play 'tetris' in reverse. From the bottom floor to the ceiling, you're eliminating 3 blocks of colour at a time, to have nothing remaining. If you do not remove them in the 'correct' order, you will need to restart the level to try again. Each level is a unique solve, so once you make a mistake, it's until you realize it, but the level is inevitably over. Tetris was a lot less rigid. This is a fun alternative, and you play from the bottom to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun puzzle game in solo. Hilarious when playing with very competitive friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A thinking game? Nah, not for me XD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tumblestone is a refreshing and innovative take on the puzzle genre that manages to blend classic match-three mechanics with elements of strategy, speed, and even a touch of competitive intensity. Developed by The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, it stands apart from its peers not just through its colorful aesthetic and upbeat energy, but by introducing gameplay that challenges both reflexes and critical thinking. At first glance, it may look like another tile-matching game in the vein of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way overpriced mobile puzzle game that's just not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun puzzle game. Simple rules. Simple gameplay. Often complex solutions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty corny and boring. I feel like you could find a similar game for free on a mobile app or flash game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super low effort, Basically just a flash game you can free on a dozen different websites. Can't exit level or game, had to alt-ctrl-del to quit. No way is this "game" worth $25.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam cloud doesn't work. Lost all my progress.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction : Tumblestone est un puzzle game de The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild sorti en 2016. Le principe inverse le match-3 classique : au lieu de faire tomber des blocs, tu les retires par groupes de trois depuis le bas de la grille. Un concept tout bête qui n'avait pas été renouvelé depuis Tetris, et pourtant ça marche. Ce que j'ai aimé : 🧩 Le twist du match-3 inversé, vraiment malin : chaque grille devient un vrai casse-tête de logique et pas juste un jeu de réflexes ♾️ Le contenu…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You will think about this game regularly. Very good with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developer was high on crack and a serious dose of weed when he was making Chapter 12. I've been struggling so bad in each chapter with those gimmicks but in Chapter 12 it was all COMBINED. And bots on last boss fight were so fast I had to learn to play the game for the second time just to beat it. But it all somehow felt very rewarding at the end. Like my brain is still capable of thinking.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If a human were ever to ever actually go super sayan in our real world, it would be during a match of tumblestone with their close friends- exerting every atom of their being for the simple prize of bragging rights. I owned this on xbox previously where me and my friends logged many hours there. We all had no qualms buying the game again (when it was on sale, of course) after becoming PC eletists. In fact, for one friend, this is his third copy. His second is a PSA graded 10 copy for the WiiU.

unlabelledView post →Tumblestone, a title I vaguely recall picking up in a Humble Bundle years ago, unfortunately lives up to its perceived shovelware status in 2025. My experience lasted a grand total of five minutes before I uninstalled it. The gameplay felt clunky, uninspired and dated, and it served as a stark reminder of why I cancelled that subscription service long ago.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love a traditional puzzle game! My top picks are: - Tumblestone - PuyoPuyoTetris - pokemon puzzle league - legend of zelda: ocarina of time

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Top 4 Friday: Puzzle Games! Tetris will forever be the GOAT, but Puzzle Challenge gets real close. It was my introduction to the Panel De Pon series that I also love dearly. Puzzle Fighter is also an addictive game that I'll lose hours to. Tumblestone is such a hidden gem, too!
unlabelledView post →Very challenging!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, but... It's a solid puzzle game that's overvalued. I see it's on sale at the time of writing this for 80% ($5), but that still feels a little steep for what's essentially a mobile game. That being said, I have no idea where I got this so it felt reasonable. Not a lot of changeups in the puzzles, but they can be pretty challenging at times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →peak multiplayer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In general, you can complete several levels for free, but I would not recommend buying the game. After I received the cards, I didn't launch them even once
