Blocksplode

More annoying than challenging. It eventually ends up as a game where you're just guessing.

Level design is good, I guess, but I can't get over the fact that a simple game like this could perform so badly- performance-wise and physics-wise it's absolutely terrible. Definitely not worth buying at full price unless North Star updates the hell out of this game. But for the moment, re-playability is 0

Its a fun little game that allows you to explode things, even with friends. It isn't perfect though, the sound effects (especially the UI sounds) are pretty bad, the music is meh, the UI of the game feels a lot like a mobile game (which it probably is) and the game isn't very helpful in showing you how powerful items are. I would've liked it more if the tnt you start with was a bit better against the blocks you deal with, or that you only sink the blue things to get through the levels. The game would also benefit from a bit of a speedup during phases and quicker switching between levels (why do I have to go back to the menu to select) Overall its a pretty basic game that is probably ported from mobile. But its ideal for clicking during a boring meeting or whatever. Just don't expect too much of it. 13 euros is a bit much, I think 5 bucks should fit it a bit more but it feels more like a mobile game you buy for like 2 bucks. It aint special but it also isn't that bad. Only get now when...

An interesting set of physics challenges. Some levels can frustrate, especially the ones involving keeping green gems out of the water. Specific levels require inch-perfect bomb placement in a specific order which can take a lot of repitition and sticktoitiveness. Bombs explode spectacularly but with limited impact on damage inflicted, which is rather disappointing. Good mix of rewarding challenges, some instantly repeatable, others you will never want to see again after completing. Soundtrack has some awesome music going but also some not so inspired, not varied enough I think. Currently stuck at the tile-matching level, which is simply hate-inducing, pure guesswork without a photographic memory. Will attack it with a video camera after typing this review. Generally enjoyed the game to be honest. Ecellent time passer and brain engager.

Nice concept, but brought down by the irritating sound effects, and the resetting of the explosives after each failed attempt, making it impossible to gradually adjust until perfect. It leaves you in a position of trying to establish whether you were close and should keep trying, or guess a new location. This guessing gets dull quickly.
