D+PAD: Tower Bloxx Deluxe Reviewed

Building on the success of the acclaimed mobile app Tower Bloxx, developer Digital Chocolate has brought its established game crashing onto Live Arcade with a few additional modes to sweeten the exorbitant price tag. The premise is simple. Hired by the mayor of a failing town, it’s your task to renovate the area by layering blocks that serve as housing for the land’s inhabitants. What follows is a rudimentary game that lacks the demand for complex thought found in other puzzlers. It’s much more about coordination and finding a rhythm, accounting for the swing of the crane arm and finding that sweet spot rewarding you with a significant score multiplier.
