It isn’t exactly revolutionary, but it’s smart enough to keep your fingers interested for longer than your average puzzle game. There’s just enough tactical fun here to keep you interested, and coupled with the game’s unique ideas it makes for an entertaining experience.Īstro Blast wraps the usual puzzling shape into something with enough heft that you’re going to keep playing. There are boss levels too, where you’re not worried about distance, but killing powerful assailants before they crippled your ship. You’ve got a laser that can hurt them as well. There are sections where enemies attack your grid, popping into empty spaces and dealing damage until you’ve blown enough bombs up around them to take them out. Those coins can be spent on upgrading your ship between levels, making it stronger and faster. There are other special blocks as well – these boost your energy, which you need to use your special skills, or give you some extra coins. You can chain together bombs by putting them in close proximity, and create bigger bombs by matching them together in squares. When the bombs explode, you fly forwards, getting you closer to your goal and the end of the level. If there is a bomb in there, it’ll explode, taking everything around it with it. If you create a line of blocks that doesn’t have a bomb in it – a glowing square that some of the shapes carry inside them – then nothing will happen. You’re trying to connect lines of blocks horizontally or vertically, but there’s more to it than that. And it makes for a pretty darn interesting experience.Įach level you’ve got a grid, and a series of shapes you need to place – you get three of those at a time, and three more when you’ve used them. 2600 5200) Asteroids Deluxe (Arcade) Astroblast (2600) Atari Baseball.
