Has anyone played Squishy Tank yet?

It's been out for a few weeks now and Metacritic only has one review posted (80% from Nintendo Power). Customer reviews on Amazon are fairly mediocre.

I usually go in for just about any puzzle game on the DS but I'm not sure what to make of this one.

Any reviews or opinions from the CAG community?

from the video, it looks interesting... but this is the first time hearing about it.

That looks pretty good. I'll get it when it's cheaper. GameStop has it for $19.99.

Hmm. It's another click the blocks that are matching in colors game. There's a bajillion of these things and most can be played for free on the web.

Unlike all those match-3 clones, this is a samegame clone.

Japanese tank "humor" aside, you can complete this (story mode + missions) in an about 3-4 hours.
