Block Blast - Walk-through and Review - January 2025

Block Blast is a game reminiscent of old 8-bit console games where the player needs to slide a block on a rising stack of blocks over its color. Once there is a match, then the entire row disappears. This goes on until the top block reaches the top of the screen.

This is one of those situations where the descriptions which will make sense once you see the video.

This game has no advertisements.

This game has no objectionable material.

This game feels like a proof-of-concept project which was released. Probably one of those code-camp challenges and the author just released it because the author could.

A tutorial or instruction screen would be nice but not really needed as you can figure out the game fairly quickly.

So what's the bottom line?

As a code challenge, this game passes. The game works. This game has music. This game has no bugs that we were able to see.

As a game though, this game will get boring very quickly. How could the game be made better? We are not sure. Making the block rise faster doesn't make the game challenging. That just makes it difficult and frustrating.
