Amazon finally began expanding the reach of their AppStore back in August of this year, opening it up to a few countries over in Europe.

Well Square Enix has released a new game for Android gamers who enjoy puzzle games. This particular title, called Motley Blocks, is pretty similar in style to another game we released talked about called Pixel Twist.
