You're not wrong there! As soon as I played it I could tell it was addictive! It's similar to Big Money (of course), but also Blockwerx at WW.

The thing is it seems quite easy and straightforward at the beginning, but when you get towards the end of your game the top fills up so quickly and suddenly. You mustn't let the blocks even get near the top. And you have to remember that the blocks don't join together when a column is cleared which alters your strategy a bit. Also, I like the fact that you can clear diagonal blocks as part of the same group (makes it a bit easier). Nice game!

i like this game. you really have to concentrate...except the first rounds...they are tooooooo slow in my opinion. would be cool to get the lines from top by hitting space or something like that.

Yeah, the beginning can definitely be a little slow - but it picks up quickly. I use that time to really strategize my beginning board and try to minimize the blockies on the playing field, setting up for the rush, which usually crushes me.

My problem with Blockies is that I can't distinguish 2 of the colours - possibly green and orange. (I'm one third colour-blind). So I have to hover over blocks to see if they gain an outline, and when the game speeds up this method isn't fast enough. Annoying, as i quite like the game.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem... something to keep in mind when you bring out new games. Most SA games are ok for me in this respect - eg. Bomboozle is fine.

Yeah, there are a few people around the community with the same issue - so we are aware of it. We try to incorporate elements to help distinguish it, sometimes it's not possible for us, but we try

I like this game and I normally dont like the "collapse" "bigmoney" type games. Yeah, the beginning is slow but its quick to speed up and the graphics are cute! good game

I'm not a big fan of Blockies.
I mean Graphic is good and I very like the collapse sound - it's awesome if you click 5-times in a seconds. But I don't like the end, it paces up quite fast and at lvl 11+ it's hit or die.
Getting my highscore of 800k+ I was almost clicking randomly and got lucky hitting the right spots to collapse many blocks. In addition it's impossible to use special items in late game, because collapsing is way more effective than the specials (time and destruction wise).
And what jerk did the scoring - sry but that's just to basic.
