Story

Pokittobloids, Sploids, Samoids is a nice puzzle game based on Photon Storm's Quarter. This has a little twist in that you can use a button to wipe out a random block of faces when stuck with a piece you can't fit.

It's a game for the Pokitto hardware which can be found >>here<<

You can also play the game on the Windows emulator.
