Reception
IGN gave a mixed review to Columns Crown, saying that while the versus mode was enjoyable with use of the power-ups, the game as a whole was much less addictive than other similar games released on the Game Boy Advance. Former publication Cubed3 criticized the gameplay as "restricted", stating that navigating levels successfully seemed dependent on luck rather than skill. GameSpot gave a mixed review, stating "Although it's not as energetic or complex as many modern-day puzzle games, it doesn't really disappoint in any specific area either."
