Gameplay and plot

The core gameplay ofMeteos,described as a "shoot-and-lift-up puzzle" game,[5]requires players to use a stylus to move colored blocks—the eponymous "meteos" that fall from the top of the screen. Creating a vertical or horizontal line of three or more blocks causes the meteos to ignite and rise; they, or any blocks above them, disappear once they leave the screen.[6]The speed and frequency of falling blocks can be adjusted with the "speeder" gauge.[7]Power-upsmay help or hinder the player or opponents; one example is a giant hammer that destroys multiple blocks with a few swings.[8]The game ends if the blocks reach the top of the screen.[9]Each block sent out of the playing field is cached in a virtual bank, from which the player can unlock new planets, aliens and sounds.[10]The player can play as one of thirty-two aliens and their respective planets,[11]each of which has a uniquegravitational pullthat affects the way the blocks launch.[12]

The game has several modes; Star Trip, Simple, Deluge and Time Attack. Star Trip isMeteos'story mode;[13]its plot centers on the evil planet Meteo sending its matter—the meteos—to other planets, killing life and destroying worlds. After three meteos fuse and launch themselves and other meteos into space, the civilizations on other planets plan a counterattack against Meteo. The player travels from planet to planet on the Metamo Ark, a warship made of metean ore. The story has branching paths, with the last level requiring the player to defeat Meteo itself.[7][13]The Simple mode allows a quick play of the game while letting the player change the rules, such as the difficulty and the number of lives they can have. The Deluge mode lasts until the blocks completely fill the screen, "killing" the player.[13]Time War has two goals; getting thehigh scorein a limited time or launching as many blocks as possible from a set number.[14]The game also has amultiplayermode throughDownload Play;the player can send up to three other players ademoto play against each other with one game cartridge.[15]

Development and release

edit
Meteoswas developed for theNintendo DSsystem.

Meteoswas developed byQ Entertainmentand released byBandaiin Japan andNintendoin the United States.[16][17][18][19]The game was first announced by Nintendo in August 2004; it was produced by Q Entertainment founderTetsuya Mizuguchi,who also producedSega'sSpace Channel 5(1999) andRez(2001). FormerKirbyseriesdirectorMasahiro Sakuraiserved as the game designer,[16]and Takeshi Hirai was its director,[20]whileTakayuki Nakamuraand Kaori Takazoe produced the game's soundtrack.[21]The genres of music used for each planet includeclassical,country,popandBalinese,and music reminiscent of that used inSpace Invaders(1978).[22]

The game was conceived when Tetsuya Mizuguchi asked Masahiro Sakurai to make afalling block puzzle.Believing the puzzle game genre had not evolved sinceTetris Attack(1995), Sakurai originated the idea of having the blocks fall down and shoot back up.[20]The game's prototype was created in three days by a designer, a programmer and agraphic artist;[23]it was inspired by the television series24,the filmThe Matrixand the video gameMissile Command.According to Mizuguchi,24'scamera work and the beginning ofThe Matrix—in which greencomputer codecascades down the screen—served as the basis of the puzzle-game concept.[24]In aFamitsuinterview, Sakurai said the openingCG videoexplaining its backstory was added to provide a sense of the game's world.[14]

The game was demonstrated at Nintendo's booth atE3in 2005.[25]Meteos'original Japanese release was scheduled for February 24, 2005.[26]The release was postponed to March 10 due to last-minute changes; Mizuguchi was "reluctant" to change the date and apologized to fans.[2]The game was released in the United States on June 27, in the United Kingdom on September 23,[1]and in Australia on November 24 of that year.[4]

The game's visuals and soundtrack garnered praise;IGNdescribed the in-game visuals as "sharp and colorful",[30]and Chris Sell ofPALGNnoted the distinctive art design and characters.[35]Sell also wrote that the soundtrack "fits the game like a glove", describing it as reminiscent of the soundtrack forSuper Smash Bros. Melee(2001).[35]The game's review fromNintendo World Reportsaid music fans would likely find something they liked from the soundtrack's broad selection.[34]According to aGameProcontributor, the soundtrack was fast and relies on sound effects, adding to the game's pace.[31]Greg Kasavin called the soundtrack "outstandingly over-the-top" and said the game's premise justified its pace.[15]
