Edge:Everything about Ookibloks – from its name to its art to its music – makes you wonder whether you’re rediscovering some lost arcade classic. It’s a game that feels old-fashioned in the best way: its bright, happy visuals belie a fierce but fair challenge, its controls are simple and responsive, and its cheerful soundtrack will soon be on your brain’s internal Spotify playlist.
While many retro veterans pine for tactile controls for games that would be best suited for precision, the mobile platform can alternatively host creations that gel perfectly with a touch based interface.
148apps - Ookibloks is a charmingly fast-paced arcade-style puzzle game. And it's fun, too.
Lampert & Sons have finally released their 2008 IGF finalist title Ookibloks for free on iOS. Ookibloks is an interesting mix of action and puzzles that requires quick thinking and fast hands. The game isn’t the most normal game either as it features flying kittens, chimps with missile launchers, and the ability to punch crabs, sharks, jellyfish, and other animals right in their faces.
I'm watching a YouTube clip on this game, and I am under absolutely no impression that the music implies it was a lost arcade gem. It looks and sounds like a free Flash game.
