Bloxorz
Bloxorz stole about an hour and a half of my life…
Addicting? Yes. Easy? Not so much. Although I did get to level 28!…with some help. My friends Tim and Matt worked a couple of them out with me. Brian may or may not have completed a few of them for me. But that’s what boyfriends do—they help girlfriends out when they’re stuck in digital games. So it’s okay.
Maybe it’s just the fact that my new laptop doesn’t run as fast as my grandmother, but the game ran very smoothly. The controls were simple and the rules and such were easy to understand. Overall, the playability of this game was good. I would have kept playing but we got board and decided to play Naruto instead.
I enjoy puzzles and brain teasers and the like so this was fun. I’ve discovered that I can figure out the paths to the hole easier when I work backwards. Also, I noticed that the introduction of switches doesn’t just test your ability to maneuver through a confined area, but it also challenges your memory. Sometimes you have to commit seppuku just to restart the level and avoid that soft switch the second time around.
All in all, I enjoyed the game. It was more intellectually challenging than I originally thought it would be. It’s a good way to waste some time cause it’s not mindless and you actually have to use your brain, which is a nice change.
