Super Collapse II expands upon the original Super Collapse. It is also similar but better than the web version - more levels and more difficult. Your objective is to click three or more color matching connected blocks to explode them, thus creating a collapsing set of color blocks from above.

In Super Collapse II, there are four modes of Collapse action:

Collapse Traditional: the original game with new tricks and similar to the web game. The blocks appear at the bottom of the screen moving your pile of color blocks closer to the top of the game field. If they touch the top, the game is over.

Collapse Relapse: This mode is for Panic addicts – blocks enter from top and bottom, it's a fury of color blocks dropping from above and emerging from below and you need to clear the blocks before they touch, because if they do then the game is over.

However, winning the game in both Traditional and Relapse is near impossible because the better you get at removing the blocks the faster the blocks appear. It lets you get confident, then it humbles you very quickly. The best you can do is get a high score, move on to the next level and try not to see these two horrible words, “GAME OVER.”

Collapse Puzzle: Mind bending puzzles – brain attack. Ten brainteasers that challenge you to clear the screen with only the blocks provided to you. There is no time limit set for this mode. However, you can only win by perseverance. You must play each game by trial and error. If you have a good memory you can remember the sequences you used for each game and not repeat them in the same sequence in the next game. So far I have only been able to get it down to two blocks but I'm still trying.

Collapse Strategy: Planning is what wins the game – not speed. You must think ahead by pushing up a new row of blocks every time you click to clear a few from the screen.

My whole family is playing Collapse – it's addictive. I love the color blocks. My favorite is the Relapse mode and it's unbelievable how the hours just slip away as you try to match the color blocks of three or more.
Both the Puzzle and Strategy modes place the emphasis on thinking ahead, allowing players to take as long as they need to make a move, while Traditional and Relapse require the quick clicking that some gamers thrive on.
The music and the sound deserve a special mention – it's good music. I usually shut the sound off on most games because the music is generally annoying or it ruins my concentration. However, I did not do that with this game. It added to the enjoyment so that every one of my senses was engaged.
