1. Polish.
2. Funny storyline/characters.
3. Simple. Can get in and out. Can play for 1 minute or 30 minutes.
4. You can play the same level over and over and it's different every time due to the mechanics of destroying things that have their own physical properties. It's hard enough to get you to try again but not so difficult that you're driven away.

Points 3 and 4 and what I would call The Keeper. They bring you back.
This is why I think it's a good game. There are lots of good games that aren't popular. The reason why it's popular probably has more to do with word-of-mouth advertising and then media coverage. There are probably a high number of addicts (myself included) that go on to evangelize the game to other device owners.
