Wood Block Puzzle 69.0

Humans have a very interesting reaction to puzzles, as there is always an instinct to be able to solve the puzzle within a few moves. The self-validation you get after solving a puzzle is great and there is always a giddy feeling when you outscore people and finish a given puzzle quicker than the average person. Puzzle games on Android are popular for this reason too as they activate the brain muscles and give them a bit of exercise while also providing the players a good time pass activity. Block puzzle games are a sub-type of the puzzle genre and games like Wood Block Puzzle are now providing an insight into how block puzzle games play out.

Wood Block Puzzle is a cleverly designed game that seems to be very simple at first look but is devilishly difficult once you start playing. Block games where you have to align blocks within a vertical or horizontal line to make them disappear and earn points have been available for a long time. The primary difference between those block games and a block puzzle game like Wood Block Puzzle is in the gameplay. While older block games usually kept removing the block lines from the bottom of the screen so that you can keep slotting the upcoming blocks in the empty spaces. Wood Block Puzzle does not abide by these rules and takes out the concept of gravity out of the equation. The wood blocks don't settle at the bottom and keep hanging until you string together a vertical or horizontal line of blocks together after which the particular line disappears.

The change in gameplay increases the difficulty level of this particular block puzzle game multifold. Since the blocks don't settle at the bottom and keep hanging in their places, it becomes a problem to accommodate other wood blocks that keep coming your way. You are required to accommodate three wood blocks at a time and if you fail to accommodate any one of them, the game is over and your score counter is reset.

The good thing about Wood Block Puzzle is that it makes you think out different strategies that can be used in order to counter the difficult gameplay. The placement of the wood blocks can't be random and needs to be thought over. The game provides you ample time as there is no time limit on each turn and you can keep thinking about where to place a particular block without any time limit.

The block puzzle game has a simple scoring method whereby you are granted points for each row of blocks you are able to match and clear from the screen. The game essentially requires you to keep space available for as many oncoming blocks as possible as endurance in the game is rewarding and can get you high scores. The app always compares your final score with your high score and this normally prompts you to keep coming back to the game to beat your previous high score.

The game hardly has any other features other than the puzzle game itself. The game does have background music that can be disabled if needed by tapping on the 'Pause' button at the top of the screen. The app's ads can be a bit of a distraction as well but its part and parcel of playing a 'free to play' game.

Features:

• Interesting, non-conventional and challenging gameplay
• Classy app design
• Easy to understand game rules
• Simple scoring system

Conclusion:

Wood Block Puzzle is an entertaining and addictive block puzzle game that primarily works due to the unique challenge that it offers the players. With non-conventional game rules and beautiful app design, the app has the potential to keep you engaged for a long time.
