help Meteos FAQ
Who designed Meteos for the Nintendo DS?
Meteos was designed by Masahiro Sakurai and developed by Q Entertainment. Tetsuya Mizuguchi, known for Rez and Lumines, produced the game.
How does Meteos use the Nintendo DS touchscreen?
Players drag falling blocks up and down columns with the stylus to match three or more. A match launches blocks upward like rockets, so the goal is to blast stacks off the top before the screen fills.
Was Meteos inspired by Missile Command?
Yes, Meteos has been linked to Missile Command as one of its inspirations, though it plays like a fast falling-block puzzle game. It also has a space-disaster theme where planets are threatened by incoming Meteos blocks.
Did Meteos ever get a follow-up outside the DS version?
A Disney-themed DS follow-up called Meteos: Disney Magic was released after the original. Q Entertainment also made Meteos Wars for Xbox Live Arcade on Xbox 360.
