Finding a truly playable game for the Apple Watch is harder than it looks, but Block Blast! manages to pull it off. The developers clearly understood the limitations of the hardware—the blocks are large enough to be easily manipulated by a finger without feeling like you need a stylus, and the haptic feedback when you clear a line is a nice touch. It’s surprisingly addictive for such a small-scale game.
The 'Blast' mechanics are just as satisfying here as they are on the phone. While you don't get the same variety of modes or 'Adventure' levels, the core endless mode is perfect for a wearable. My only real complaint is that it can drain the watch battery a bit faster than your average utility app, so maybe don't play for an hour straight if you're away from a charger. For those little moments of boredom during the day, this is a top-tier watch app that turns your wrist into a mini arcade.

Use the touch screen to drag shapes from the bottom of the watch face onto the grid. Try to leave space for larger 3x3 pieces!
Clearing more than one line at once triggers a combo, giving you significantly more points and a satisfying visual effect.
No, once installed, the game runs natively on your Apple Watch.
I was bored when I was on the bus then got this app and it made the time go by so much faster :D
