CONCLUSION
This great cube matching fun game gets more difficult early, because the order of clearing the game field by matching cubes gets more and more important (but it's often hard to see in these "3D" levels), but it’s very interesting because of this. You’ll get also not only usual cubes but also coloring cubes, heightening cubes, melting cubes, blocking cubes (can't be matched but melted down only) and all these always in a double pack, which order you may change (to get different results!) and push in the field at the side of your choice.

FIRST IMPRESSION
Our first try of this game ended similar to the rating of "NannaMo". But my wife solved it by chance. I didn't, so we did some trying until the demo hour (to less for this game, to less help/instructions in the game) was over. After known how to play, we did 30 levels in a row. We're happy to have the full version.

THE IMPORTANT TRUTH ABOUT THE REQUIRED STARS
Research on You Tube was the solution and is really recommended (almost all levels, also in a play list, are available). The game requires to match a certain number of cubes with COLORED stars on the right of the screen (the CUBE itself must match the given color, e.g. required YELLOW STAR = match a YELLOW CUBE with a star. You may use the COLORING CUBE before to give the cube with the star you’re going to match the REQUIRED COLOR first! Have a look at YouTube for "solving level 4 of BeachBlox" to have a more enjoyable start with this great game.

ODDS
Only the background music was absolutely not of our taste (too fast and too driving, too much drums which drops concentration too much for having fun here). But you may use your own music files and enjoy the game totally different with your favorite music style!

Don't be fooled by the first easy levels where you just match dices with value 1 to 9 by joining (pushing them together) and increasing (+ dice) and decreasing (- dice) their values first.
There are about 300 levels to solve, where you have to build your required dice values by proper adding and subtracting first (dices add up to a sum of 9 and subtracts for a sum greater than 9) by pushing them together by a "odyssey" against walls and other elements (visit here "Community > Game Forums Home > Ziro > Welcome to Ziro forum") where the dices stop then and may pushed to another element or dice!
When playing Ziro you've often many ways to complete a level. So you often may find your own way!
SOLUTIONS & HELP
YouTube is your friend to find solutions for the many hard levels, e.g. the channel "corsariogames":
- always omit the location (usually 1st word/part) when searching
- for the first 20 levels search for: corsario games ziro first levels
- not all levels are part of a playlist, so try to search as shown above too

TIPPS
The sound track is annoying for a game that requires real thinking, so you turn it better of and listen to a CD of your liking during play.
The sound will drop when you switch often from the full screen game to desktop (e.g. to get help on YouTube), so we suggest running it in window mode for a stable sound.
