It’s a bird, it’s a plane: It’s GeoBlox…And a review.

Ahh Geoblox. I’m three reviews in today and I’m not tired of these games yet.

Geoblox is a puzzle game, based around the idea of matching colors and shapes. And that’s the review. Good night folks!

The "Sick of lame jokes" face

I kid, I kid. We’ve seen the formula for Geoblox before, so the game shouldn’t be unfamiliar for many players. You play as a circle in the middle of the screen, getting bombarded from all sides by objects of varying shapes and colors. Match three in a row by shape or color, and you’ll knock them off the board and gain a few points. Multiple combinations equates to more points.

There are a few special pieces in the game, such as those that change color to the first object they touch, and those that change shape to the first object they touch. There are a couple more special pieces that you will encounter along the way. Each level has its own theme, and the shapes vary by theme. On the moon, you’re more likely to see aliens, stars, crescent moons, and rockets, for example.

Each round has a set amount of blox, and your objective is to combine them and remove them from the playing field. At the end of the round, a bubble blows out from your character and retracts. The further it retracts, the more bonus points you’ll received. So it’s advised to keep your shapes as close to the center as possible.

This game is solely single player.

Why you will like this game: Some will find the game addictive, with the multitude of shapes and themes that change every level. Hardcore casual players will find the game quite challenging.

Why you will dislike this game: Many players will not find enjoyment in the game when, at higher levels, the game gets very challenging, despite the image it presents.

The game is definitely more challenging than some of the other games. I give Geoblox a 7/10. It’s a fun game, but it’s a one trick pony.

Getting Achievements is pretty easy.
