Someone explain Meteos to me.

I'm probably getting a DS soon, and everyone says its like ZOMFGINGPWNFUL. I haven't played Puzzle games in ages, but I like Tetris and stuff. What do you DO in it?

My best try at a description:

Use the NDS stylus to drag Meteos (the blocks) up and down to create groups of 3 or more (in horizontal or vertical lines) similar blocks. While more blocks fall from the top of the screen

When you get a match the blocks explode, sending them and all the blocks above them into the air where they float back down slowly (the speed both ways depends on what planet you're playing as).

While the blocks are in mid-air you can match up more groups, launching the group of blocks further into the air.

The goal is to send as many blocks off the top of the screen as possible, you lose if the 'non-flying' blocks stack that high.

Maybe someone else can explain it better...
