  --[ What it is ]--

SopoBlock is a fun, simple, addictive, cute and fast paced puzzler that
concentrates around removing different coloured blocks from the playfield. (Ooh,
a completely new and innovative idea.)  Read the feature list, gameplay info and
the FAQ for more info.  Check the homepage for screenshots and other cool stuff:
