Most popular platform games in iOS have fun and vibrant graphics, coupled with stunning and accurate gameplay. This fits the criteria of the best iOS apps, like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, and Fruit Ninja. Today, I will introduce a game that also fits into those criteria and will be a great success soon enough: World of Blocks.
Vibrant and Exciting Gameplay
World of Blocks opens up to a vibrant and exciting main menu. The buttons and background are fun with well-designed elements evidently behind it. Let’s move on to the main part of this review: the gameplay. Many levels (65 levels on 6 different scenic locations) exist for you to enjoy, with the very first one being the easiest; somewhat like a tutorial for you to learn as you go.
Challenging Physics-Based Gameplay
Controls are responsive to your touch and easy to understand. Aim and shoot the cannon (the main hero of the game) to destroy objects on the field in order for the blue and moody blocks to fall. There are two types of blocks present on the field: Blue and Green. Your mission is to make those blue ones drop down while retaining those green ones. It challenges your knowledge about physics; for example, whether shooting this block off will trigger another reaction or not.
Diverse Cannon Ball Abilities
To help you with this task, you have different types of cannonballs which vary between each different level along the way. They are Franky, Speedy, Meedy, Biggy, Frosty, and finally Sticky. Each of them has differing abilities. For example, Biggy is really big and can blow off a ton of blocks, while Sticky will stick to the platform which it is shot to.
Engaging Music and Multilingual Option
Music in the game blends into the background while not being too intrusive or annoying towards the gamer. The music is not too loud at medium settings either, meaning that you will not disturb others while enjoying the game. Another great thing which I loved about this game is that you can play in 4 different languages – English, French, German, and Russian. This is great news for non-English speaking players who are unsatisfied by the mediocrity of non-English games in the market.
Unique and Entertaining Gameplay
However, some of you might find it a little gimmicky as it follows the traditional recipe of success from Angry Birds. You might think this would lack originality, but the game itself is really good. The game might also lag on older devices, as the graphics are top-notch. However, anything above the 3GS will do just fine playing this game. To judge it on a scale of 10, I will give it 8.9/10, a testament to its smooth gameplay with beautiful graphics on board this $0.99 gem of a deal.
Pros:
- Great gameplay
- Stunning visuals
- Easy instructions
- Non-intrusive music
Cons:
- Might be a little gimmicky
- Might lag on old devices
