Alright. I know I've been going around and calling this a Columns clone, which it is, but now I want to go for an actual title.

I'm leaning towards "8-bit Columns". I don't want to use just Columns and I don't want to make references to jewels as jewels aren't the only playing tileset (they aren't even the default set).

UPDATE: Someone said "Magic Pillars" in chat. I like "Mystic Pillars" better myself.

Anyone think that's a good or bad title? Anyone have a better title?

Unacceptable titles:
Columns
Pillars
Stack anything (where anything is a spoof off stack)
Blocks

MOMENTUM

that can translate into: equivalently (where one of the meanings of the word is "Having virtually identical or corresponding parts".

That would be soooo, perfect...

and even better, I have a tip xD, get the logo made in death metal 8x8pixels style xD \m/

...........That would be a perfect title...

Shafts.

You have the tie in of players being able to yell out "Give 'em the Shaft." and remember a column is defined as an upright shaft that supports an overhead structure.

Rest of the meanings of equivalently:

1.
a. Equal, as in value, force, or meaning.
b. Having similar or identical effects.
2. Being essentially equal, all things considered: a wish that was equivalent to a command.
3. Mathematics
a. Capable of being put into a one-to-one relationship. Used of two sets.
b. Having virtually identical or corresponding parts.
c. Of or relating to corresponding elements under an equivalence relation.
4. Chemistry Having the same ability to combine.
5. Logic Having equivalence: equivalent propositions.

"
The m?mentum was not merely the motion, which was m?tus, but was the power residing in a moving object, captured by today's mathematical definitions."

It really fits I think, though Im no American and don't know If it sounds corny

How does "momentum" translate into "equivalently"?

Momentum refers to either mass*velocity (linear momentum) or mass-moment-of-inertia*rotiational-velocity (angular momentum)... I don't see "equivalence" fall out of that...at least not in English.

I think you should go with something that resembles the titles of your other games. Pilaerus, Columyte, etc.
