SO this may be a necro-bump But, I do in fact LOVE tricky kick and I'm sure there are some new members out there who also love tricky kick.
Game has several very bright points for me:
 
1. I like the music, not fantastic but solid
2. I love the little cut scenes
3. I enjoy the strange anime styling of the game
4. I like the "thinking" and learning curve that is required to figure out the tricky puzzles in the game.  The idea of matching and squashing is something I always thought unique and different. 
Not for everyone, but everyone should give at least two levels a try.  This one might surprise you, if you have not tried it out.
