Absurd Atlantis by Big Fish Games is one of those simple 'drop a matching pattern games'. You drop different types of fish and try to match up the same type. Match one up and they disappear, fail and you lose a life.
Starting the game up forces you to enter your name and email address. This is re ally bad design, we all get way too much spam email and I really don't want anymore. There isn't even an option to bypass it.
Game play is exactly what you'd expect with no surprises. You get a new 'fish' to match up and then drop it. It's repetitive. When you die you make an 'umph' sound, like your character is more bored than you and just wants to go home.
The music is annoying, it's repetitive and it jumps like a badly scratched CD. Luckily the developers realised this and allowed you to turn it off.
If you're 5 years old or like watching bright colors move around it may appeal to you. Otherwise unless you've had a major brain operation you're going to get bored very quickly.
