BrickShooter Review
A Surprisingly Addictive and Original Puzzle game
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pleasing (if minimalist) graphics, simple, intuitive controls, inventive gameplay with plenty of challenge.
Poor music, not a whole lot of depth or gameplay options, many may find later stages overly difficult
The concept behind Brickshooter is similar to that of many other puzzle games: match up blocks to get points. While it would be easy to create another Tetris or Columns rip-off, the developers chose to be a bit more creative with this formula.
In Brichshooter, you are surrounded by four walls composed of various colorful bricks. You then select blocks from a formation in the center to match up to those on the walls. For every block you destroy, you earn one point. Its a simple formula, but it would seem that yet again, simplicity is a recipe for addiction. The game has a great "Just one more level..." quality to it, and is definitely worth looking at if you are a fun of puzzle games.
If you're looking for a masterpiece, look elsewhere. But Brickshooter is a unique, challenging little puzzle game that is certainly worth a play.
