148apps: GridBlock is a puzzle game that has plenty of action and timing elements to satisfy even the most jaded puzzle fan.
Gridblock (also stylized as GridBlock) is a simple and straightforward puzzle game for the iOS and Android platforms. Your goal is to rack up as high score and survive as long as possible by placing a series of blocks without running out of moves or placements, and clear lines in order to make points. There are some power-ups, but the only endgame is your high score.
Pocket Gamer: Before we had such things as iPhones and iPads, portable entertainment was a little more rudimentary.
A particular favourite with children of the '70s and '80s was the classic ball-bearing puzzle, where you'd have to get all of the small metal spheres into a series of holes. It was simple but devastatingly effective at eliminating boredom on those long trips to visit elderly relatives.
GameZebo: In an interesting twist which may be of benefit to iPhone games, GridBlock feels less like a video game and more like a board game. And we don't mean your regular checkers or chess, but more along the lines of something slightly more physical, like a Perfection or an Operation.
