Tricky Towers (Gaming)

I haven't yet played Rebel Galaxy, and I'm sure that based on what I've read here I'll enjoy it quite a bit...

But boy howdy, am I ever addicted to Tricky Towers, the other PS+ free-game-of-the-month. At first glance it looks like Tetris- but it is in no way Tetris. It has tetrimonos, but they have realistic mass and physics, and you have to construct a sturdy-yet-menacing wizard tower out of them, while using magic to thwart the similar efforts of your adversaries.

I tried joining a multiplayer game set to the hardest difficulty (where wind is a factor) last night, and somehow won despite floundering for the first 30 seconds or so. I'm on the far left:

Played that with my siblings. It's real fun in short bursts, but lacks variety (compared to Towerfall, another PS+ couch-based party game), and the few powerups and gametypes get old real quick for me. That said, I wouldn't mind hopping on for a bit and playing with you if you need a fourth wizard. I ain't too shabby at the whole stacking thing.
