The touch-screen controls are not ideal (swipe to move, tap to rotate - sometimes the game confuses a short swipe with a tap), but serviceable.

Deleted after some minutes. It's ugly, controls are clumsy and there really is no charm at all. It's good, that it's free. On the iPhone this games just looks and feels like crap.

Turn off accelerometer for less gimicky game play. I love columns cause of the chain reactions it kicks off along with the fond memories. Great to own on my phone.

However, you can turn those off in the menu, then you get tap to switch positions, swipe to move: much better. But really, Sega needs to port only Genesis level and upwards games, give us Bug from the Saturn/Dreamcast whatever it was, and things like that.

Accelerometer controls for a puzzle game? A menu that doesn't respond directly to touch? Terrible, terrible music? Yep, it's got all those. Yes, laughably bad.
