Quarth on Game Boy is one of those "easy to learn, impossible to master" puzzle games that somehow makes simple rectangles feel intense. You're basically shooting little blocks to complete shapes before they crush you—sounds straightforward until the screen starts filling up way faster than you expected.

At first, I thought it was just Tetris with extra steps, but there's something weirdly satisfying about snapping those lines together at the last second. The music has that classic Game Boy bleep-bloop urgency, and before long, you're hunched over, muttering at the screen when a block lands one pixel off from completing your rectangle.

It's the kind of game where you swear you'll stop after "one more try" and suddenly it's been 45 minutes. If you've got a soft spot for old-school puzzle games that don't hold your hand, this one's a time capsule worth dusting off.
