When I first played this game, I was struck by its simplicity and style. I played through, getting high scores and took a quick break. It was then I started to think about the game and quickly realized its just a simple Bejeweled clone. Then I felt very, very cheated.
You see, Block Drop has you matching groups of threes. These are groups of letters, such as making a line of three L's. Depending on which letter you make a chain of (each letter is from the word 'Blocks') you score higher. You can move adjacent blocks by single squares either up/down or left/right.
That's right, it's exactly like Bejeweled except with letters and only five possible combinations - although cominations of four or more, while possible, only remove three tiles. The upside is each game is timed for a maximum play of two minutes. You can also upload your score to compete with the world, but scores are not saved locally.
If you like this sort of thing, give this download a shot. Its small so it won't tax your bandwidth and it does have a nice interface. Other than that, it largely falls flat.
