Hungry for Blocks: Written Android Game Review

Do you love games that challenge you to the extreme? You know, the ones that get your heart racing and make your brain function on overdrive? If so, this is definitely the perfect game for you!

Hungry for Blocks, developed by Rebusmind, is an exciting and fast-paced puzzle game for Android. Only the quickest of reflexes will help keep Smilo happy and fed!

Concept and Gameplay:

When I played Hungry for Blocks for the first time, I immediately thought of the game is a unique spin on Tetris. The concept is the same; place falling blocks of various shapes so that they create solid rings and disappear. However, instead of worrying only about matching blocks, you also need to keep Smilo happy and fed.

While Hungry for Blocks seems like a game that would be familiar and fairly easy to play, I found out the hard way that the opposite was true. I’m not saying that the game is impossibly difficult to play, but it definitely takes some time to get used to. However, cute music and graphics definitely help to ease the pain of defeat.

While playing Hungry for Blocks, you can use special abilities based on Smilo’s emotion. As you destroy blocks he becomes happier and you can use special moves like zapping blocks and freezing them. However, if you don’t match blocks at a fairly quick rate, Smilo becomes unhappy and eventually explodes with anger.

One of the things I like the most about Hungry for Blocks is how customizable it is. You can choose between easy and normal difficulty modes, along with four different levels for each difficulty setting (for a total of eight individual levels). You can also choose from three different music soundtracks, all of which are great to listen to. Lastly, keeping track of scores is super easy thanks to local and online leaderboards.

As far as personal thoughts on Hungry for Blocks, I believe the game might be too frustrating for some, even in easy mode. It’s very easy to become overwhelmed, and sometimes the game confused touchscreen movements. For example, you’re supposed to move blocks around the screen by rotating your finger in a circular motion, and you can also accelerate their fall rate by sliding your finger toward Smilo. I found more often than not that the game confused these two gestures.

Value:

Hungry for Blocks is available to download for $0.99. There’s also a free version that you can download, which is what I always recommend when trying a new app. If you’re looking to try a new puzzle game that will challenge you to the extreme, Hungry for Blocks is definitely worth taking a look at.
