Denki Blocks was rage games Ltd debut into the world of gaming. Some people might think that this game is just another puzzle game to try and regain the glory of Tetris. People who think this couldnt be further from the point. Denki Blocks is a completly original game, and is just as good as Tetris. Its bright colours and joyful tunes may lead some to the conclusion that its an simple game for children aged between 5-8 yrs. Surprisly, Denki blocks is one of the hardest puzzle games i have ever played. The game is instantly addictive from the moment that you pick it up, the bright colours and joyful tunes, seem to be there for one reason; to keep you playing at it. |

The whole point of the game is that you have to move little square blocks (called Gumblocks) to join them together to complete a stage.When joining the blocks together it makes a satisfing sucking sound, which also makes it more addictive.When there is more than one colour of blocks on the screen, you have to match the same colours together.There is also chances of getting bonus stars, which help you buy more puzzle's, to get these stars you have to make the shape with the blocks that is shown on the side of the screen. You can rotate and split the blocks by using the obstacles in the way. Like all puzzle games some stages are so hard and frustrating that you feel like throwing you GBA out the window. |
