fun, challenging, and level sharing makes it even better

This is a nice little puzzle game that gently ramps up the difficulty keeping the music calm enough so that you never get stressed. While the 8-hour hidden trophy is absolutely ridiculous, and a waste of electricity to get, the other trophies can be gotten while just playing through the game. The graphics and sound are so-so, decent but not really amazing.
The level editor pack that was just released is what makes this game so much cooler. Similar to the echochrome patch that released a week earlier, you can easily browse, search, and rate user-created levels and hone in on specific authors. When creating my first levels, figuring out the mechanics of how to build a good, working level was really fun and interesting -- it's not as easy as it looks! Also similar to echochrome, there are trophies for uploading and downloading/rating user-created levels.
Major complaints: the music would be so much better if it were a higher quality encoding, and the XMB music when selecting the game is REALLY loud (Magic Ball has the same problem).
Even so, this is a solid purchase if you like relaxing games like flOw or Flower and/or puzzle games like Elefunk, Locoroco, Echochrome, or Piyotama.
