Bloxorz

Bloxorz

Bloxorz is an extremely entertaining strategy game. If you're wondering why I haven't posted in a week, the answer is: I've been playing Bloxorz! The point of the game is to manuever the block so that it falls through the "exit hole" (Poor choice of words in my opinion, but I didn't pick the name). Different stages have different obstacles, such as bridges to activate, fragile tiles, and even teleporting tiles.

As you might have guessed, I had a lot of fun playing this game. It features 33 unique stages, each more difficult than the last. It even keeps count of how many moves you've made as you make them. If/when you reach the end of the game, you can see how many moves it took you to complete the game (Note: Entering a passcode will erase your move count, so to get an accurate count, you must play the game straight through). See if you can beat my record of 3189 moves!

Gameplay - 30 out of 30

You can't ask for much better along the lines of gameplay. This game is very challenging, and it really makes you think critically about each move. The controls are simple, and I have encountered no glitches whatsoever.

Game Length - 25 out of 25

You could easily spend hours playing this game. It offers 33 stages, each more difficult than the last. Also, the passcode feature essentially allows you to save your game. So if you don't feel like playing for hours at a time, just jot down your passcode and resume later.

Video - 14 out of 15

Very smooth, 3-D visual performance. The game physics are believable. Transition graphics between stages are very cool.

Audio - 14 out of 15

Slightly Metroid-esque audio track, but is very appropriate.

Replay Value - 10 out of 15

Unfortunately, the stages are the same the second time around, so once you've completed the 33 stages, your only remaining challenge is to do it in as few moves as possible. Despite this, the game is still relatively entertaining the second and third time through.

Overall Score - 93 out of 100
