Addictive Brain Game
Best brain game in the App Store. Addictive and some levels seem impossible but there is always a solution. Sometimes I just stare at the board until I see a way forward. This game forces the player to think through the problem. I'm nearing the top level after weeks of working and it will be sad to end. If you like brain puzzles' this one is for you.Show lessChinook-Man
A great brain game!
Although I seldom read positive reviews because the negative ones tell me more, this game deserves positive reviews to be read. I like it very much for spatial analysis and for me, as an older adult, I find it does much to keep my brain exercised. Some of the puzzles can be quite difficult but persistence eventually pays off. I was fortunate to get this game free but it is one of the few free games I have downloaded that would be well worth paying for.Show lessJmarlin
I. LOVE. THIS. GAME.
Sorry to be so juvenile by using all those periods in the review title, but I do love this game. I could literally play Blockwick for hours on end, but since there are a limited number of levels (240), I normally force myself to stop after completing four of them. I really don't want this to end. Sure, there's a Blockwick 2, but after playing the free, introductory version of that game, I determined that it wasn't as good as this original version and I won't be buying it. Anyway, I digress. This game has entered my top ten all-time favorites and if you enjoy puzzles that don't pressure you with a time limit or a specified number of moves, it may well become a fav of yours as well.Show less-- Old School --
A maddeningly lovely game
Carefully designed to lead the player through increasingly difficult logical arrangements, this app seems to build brain cells- in a most seductive way. Just when I think that a certain scenario is impossible, I realize I must take a break. When I return, if I'm not thinking quite so hard, the solution often slips into place. Maddeningly, I cannot remember how I managed to solve various puzzles, so the challenge is always fresh. An excellent and engaging program.Show lessBeeper00
MY FAVORITE APP, BUT...
There is a fine line separating "fun" and "tedium". I went through the entire game twice--the second time to collect pearls, for which I was rewarded another level. I can do these puzzles for days on end, except for puzzle 13-10 which is not a brain stumper...it's just sheer boredom. A waste of my time, because it's obvious that if you fill the playing area with black, there's no place to go in anything but quarter inch increments. Booooorrrrrring. I've been working on it for about four days, again, not because it's challenging, but because I can only get inspired to work on it for about ten minutes a day. Please don't make the sequal in this mold. You'll have an automatic loser.Show lessEageralanpoe
Mind-numbingly addictive
This game is so addictive it actually makes me angry at times. I can't seem to tear myself away from it for very long. I'm done with 9 of the 12 level packs, and I keep going. If you're a fan of sliding-block puzzles, you will love Blockwick. It's the most innovative take on the genre I've ever seen. Also, the graphics are gorgeous, which is nice since it's a pretty minimal game. I also like the fact that all levels are unlocked at all times, so you never get stuck forever on a level you can't solve. Just a word of warning: this game can be very hazardous to your spare time!Show lesschessgodzilla
A simple puzzler with depth
When I picked this one up I was reluctant to pay more than $.99 for an iOS game. A year-and-a-half later, and I still come back to Blockwick now and again. Most iOS games last a month, tops, on my phone, but this is one of the few with a permanent spot in my games folder.
The puzzles start out really easy, but they get hard, fast. The sounds and colors are pleasing and reward you for keeping at it. Sometimes, when I'm stuck, I have to give my brain a week to recover so I can look at the puzzle with a fresh perspective. You can pick this game back up after a break and it won't punish you.
This is one of my favorites. I can't recommend it enough.Show lessfreneticzen
Best of class
Somehow the twist on the standard sliding block mechanism that Blockwick has makes this game fabulous rather then as mundane as I find the typical game of this type to be. Combine that with lovely graphics, fantastic sound, and the usual Kieffer Bros. attention to detail (I love how the level indicators in the menu gradually increases in brightness as more puzzles in that level are solved). Finally throw in 240 addictive and sometimes maddening puzzles to solve. If there is another sliding block game as good as this on the App Store I would like to know so I can smash the buy button.
For me Kieffer Bros. equals insta-buy!Show lessMarinasideSteve
Requires focus & concentration
This is one of my favorite games for late at night to clear my mind of daily concerns as it requires my total attention & focus. Just when I am sure the puzzle is insolvable, I will have a sudden insight into exactly how to solve it. Both addictive and relaxing. I have only just completed two of the three free levels, so I imagine it will only get more perplexing and compelling.Show lessDusty Humes
Best puzzle game for iOS
This game is extremely well done, and I love that for once, the focus isn't about how fast you solve the puzzles or how many moves it takes you - just plain solving and achievements. Yes there are in app purchases, but for the first time ever I feel like they are actually worth it. You can tell a lot of work went into this and you really get your money's worth of levels, challenge, and beautiful graphics.Show lessKvacketta
