Inspired by Tetris, but with it's own completely unique gameplay experience, Block Puzzle is challenging yet also somewhat relaxing as you work to clear all blocks from the grid. The idea's simple: drag to place differently shaped blocks in a grid and try to complete full rows or columns, to remove them from the playing surface. But under this surface simplicity, there's a tapestry of interlocking strategic elements that makes it appealing to casuals looking to relax and match some shapes as well as puzzle fans after a mental workout.

It's one of the game's greatest assets that there are no rules or tutorials to take you down and any person can take it and play as soon as they do it. The simple, drag-and-drop control is surprisingly intuitive, even on small mobile screens, and you'll find the whole experience to be as smooth as it is enjoyable. But this open door does not mean a lack of depth. Higher levels will get filled with increasingly complex block configurations, requiring more and more careful planning to not end up trapped. There are times when players need to think a few moves in advance, when they weigh immediate clearances against long-term space management, a skill that develops upon practice and one that rewards patience.

The minimal design also adds to its attractive appearance. The soft colors, clean lines and peaceful lack of extraneous detail lends a mood of calm, restoring the attention back to the challenge at hand. Unlike the slew of mobile games that seemingly aim to block players with ads or timers, Block Puzzle respects players' time with a seamless mission-based game that one moment coaxes them into marathon sessions, while the very next welcomes them to slip in for five minutes. This versatility makes it great for rides, waiting rooms or before bedtime.

The endless replayability is another plus. With procedurally generated levels and no end in sight, the game is a long way from ever growing stale. Each and every game is an unique challenge, whether high, breaking your own record or high score. It is just the inertia of your character that is under pressure, and there is no such thing as “winning” in the traditional sense, only the constant succeeding a bit more than you previously succeeded. 

Block Puzzle just further proves that a game doesn't need to have amazing graphics (or very much of anything) for it to be a fun game; all it needs sometimes is ease, strategy, and a pinch of style. It is the rare game that is satisfyingly challenging — without demanding an ounce of competitiveness from you. Whether you are a long-time fan of puzzle games or just discovering the genre, this is a puzzle game worth playing that is hard to put down.
