Block Out is a masterclass in 'zen' gaming. We’ve seen a thousand sorting games on the App Store, but the tactile 'clack' of the blocks and the clean 3D physics make this version feel much more premium. It’s the kind of game that occupies just enough of your brain to stop you from worrying, without being so difficult that it causes frustration.
The difficulty curve is very gentle, which is exactly what you want from a casual puzzler. The levels are short enough to be played in line at the grocery store, but the 'just one more' factor will often have you sitting on your couch for an hour clearing world after world. If you’re looking for a low-stakes way to keep your brain sharp, this is an excellent choice.
Thousands of unique, hand-crafted levels
One-finger control for easy gameplay
Vibrant, high-contrast 3D visuals
Relaxing lo-fi background music
No time limits or penalties
Always try to keep one tube completely empty as long as possible. Use it as a temporary 'holding bay' to move blocks around and free up the bottom colors of other stacks.
In levels with more than 8 colors, focus on completing the most dominant color first to clear out a tube early, giving you more space to sort the rarer colors.
You can use the 'Undo' button to backtrack, or the 'Add Tube' power-up to make the level easier.
Game is well made and easy to learn. Puzzles are addictive and challenging. My only wish is for more time or bonuses as I am not a pay to play type of person. Some of these puzzles make you lose a good streak simply due to the amount of time it takes if you don’t guess perfectly straight from the start, 0 room for error to keep the streak alive to earn rewards.
This game is SO close to being one of those that I don’t want to put down. (Like, could play for too long) BUT - it goes from being fun & challenging to nearly IMPOSSIBLE pretty quickly. You’ll get an “easy” level or two and then a level that you just can’t solve in the time it takes, and once you get through the few lives allotted, you have to wait a long time to earn your next try and by this point, you’ve already forgotten the first sequence of solving the puzzle so you’re right back to square one. Unless you spend actual cash, are okay with only playing until you get stuck, or are some sort of puzzle-solving genius, this game is not going to be very fun for very long. Also, if you’re colorblind, or have any difficulty distinguishing between purple and blue, you won’t have an easy time with this one as the boarder and the background of the puzzle is almost identical to the purple and blue pieces so it’s very difficult for me to see when the purple “door” is open. I do happen to be colorblind. I wish the background and boarder were more differentiated from the puzzle pieces and door openings. It’s a simple thing to fix to make the game more enjoyable for everyone.
This game can be fun, but the cash grabbing really eliminates that. Id love to be able to watch ads for extended time. As someone with very bad adhd, i struggle with timed test, challenges and all things really. So if there isn’t a way to extended time without paying for it, it doesn’t motivate me to recommend this game to people, as it is extremely difficult and almost feels like no effort was put into testing the game, only having 5 lives and 2 minutes to complete a puzzle that may take 3-5 for some people is inconsiderate of the players. This game needs more thought and effort from the developers. Seeing as it doesn’t have a large fanbase of players I hope this game can be improved bc the concept and art is great!
Game doesn’t explain any of the helpers. Didn’t even know there were any. Goes straight to difficult levels without sufficient time to learn each new thing they throw at you. Kept losing a level, which is why I deleted the app, because I didn’t understand what I was supposed to do. Oh, and it took me to the “store” and every time I went back to the main screen and hit the button to play the next level it sent me back to the store over and over and over again. I don’t know how this game got such high railings. It was frustrating, irritating and definitely not relaxing at all.
This game can be really relaxing and fun at times. But some levels are so complicated that the fun ceases. I refuse to spend money for coins to buy extra time to keep working on these harder puzzles. So I get five chances to figure out a puzzle and then have to shut the game. There’s no option to go back and play other levels for awhile. If you’re stuck on a level, it’s game over… or spend actual money. Deleting this app and finding some other puzzle game.
I never write reviews but this needed it. So the pros is that the game has great coin collections, colors and cool ways to get rid of the pieces. Also NO ads which is great! The MAJOR con is that it’s the same 20levels no matter what. They will say you’ve done 500 levels but that means you just beat the same 20 levels 40 times. They NEED more levels. It’s not a challenge at ALL beating the same levels. It needs a MAjor upgrade on NEW levels. Like there should at least be 100 different levels so not beating the same ones over and over again
I love the game. It goes from simple then gradually gets harder which is nice for beginners. Two things I don’t like are: 1. No sound when blocks are being destroyed. I love sounds. 2. Can’t change player name. It always tells me I don’t have internet connection which is not true. I feel these are things that should’ve been taken care of before launching app. Please fix these issues. Thank you.
I'm stuck on a level and no matter what I do I can't get beyond this level. I'm going to deleted the app and play somewhere else since your app is failing me to play. You might want to check it out. I'll bet no one else has had this problem but I have lost the level at least 20 times. I find it hard to believe since I have made it this far with no problems but now I have a huge problem and I'll bet you'll tell me there is nothing wrong with your app. Wish you would fix it but I know you won't!
