{{teal|Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.}}

=Copy changes=

  • {{!xt|Additionally, most lauded Async Corp.'s office-esque atmosphere; some compared the game to a job, or, more specifically, a postal delivery worker.}} I think the comma after "job" can go.
  • Also, this being my only quibble with copy is remarkable.

=Sourcing and spot checks=

  • 1 (PocketGamer): {{tq|requires you to shift coloured tiles around the left and right grids to form 2x2 or 2x3 packets}}, {{tq|If you’ve ever dreamt about becoming a postal delivery worker - and who hasn’t? yet don’t fancy the 4am starts, the unfriendly neighbourhood hounds, and the tailored shorts, Async Corp. can help you realise your fantasy from your bedroom.}} {{tick}}
  • 2 (TouchArcade): {{tq|Finally, there is Freeplay mode, which isn’t scored and only ends when you decide to punch out.}}, {{tq|There’s also no multitasking, which is brutal in a long-form puzzle game like this.}}, {{tq|At major milestones you will receive a promotion, and a reward to go with it: a new color theme.}} {{tick}}
  • 10 (IGN): {{tq|You can keep building up clusters for more points or simply tap to clear a space on the board and let more blocks tumble into action - just so long as your quota, slowly piling up centre screen, doesn't overflow.}} {{tick}}
  • 17: Shows {{tq|Released: 2011-06-28 :: Category: Game}} {{tick}}
  • 20: Lists ASYNC as a nominee in the two categories. {{tick}}

No issues in Earwig, either.

=Images=

There are two images in the article: a PD-TOO logo and a fair-use screenshot with valid NFUR showing gameplay.
