Bloxorz game review

The game Bloxorz is a strategy game involving a rectangular cube turning on its side and going through a mix of mazes to get it through the hole at the end. Other factors such as being on the side of the block or hitting hidden bridges are also a part of solving this game.

I enjoyed playing the game for this review. The actual game play is simple and easy to learn. The beginning puzzles help you understand how to play the game and get used to the different obstacles you have there. I felt however that the game got to hard after the learning stage and became boring when certain puzzles couldn’t be figured out. The idea also that you could not save your game and had to write down codes to get back to where you were also kept me from continuing further into this game. The game had standard graphics which only did something when you got the block through the open space on the board, and the blocks colors changed on the sides when turned.

Overall this game is fun and I recommend it for people who love strategy games. However for those who just like to get through a game without much thinking, this game will be difficult and boring after a short time playing.
