Tap the Blocks

[b]tap the blocks[/b] is a 2016 mobile game that made its way to steam in 2022. $2 to remove ads on mobile, same as the price of the pc version, not nearly as outrageous as the stunts many scummy devs pull. it's [b]endless score attack match-2-or-more[/b] until you lose. the optional tutorial is full of tapping, always annoying and a sign of a lazy port, but since they didn't rename the game to [b]click the blocks[/b] (which they should've), it's almost acceptable. the gameplay is like this: columns of blocks appear, click clusters with the same color to make them disappear. no cascades, you decide what goes. the catch is, columns at the end get pushed off-screen by newcomers, that's when you lose a life, inevitably leading to game over, man. each round has an increasing number of columns and lasts as long as it takes the bug on the bottom to cross the screen. columns appear every few seconds, clicking the shaman speeds up the process and might lead to bigger combos with more blocks, but also to disaster. blocks also fall randomly to mess things up. the fewer blocks left by the end of the round, the higher the score. if the score bar fills up, a bonus round happens to rack up more points. you can't die here, no gaps on the bottom, only random blocks falling from above. settings can be brought up while playing. only separate toggles for audio, no volume settings, plus a smaller non-resizable windowed mode, a billion languages and local high score. not a list, just the last and the best, would've made sense to add profiles or player names or something for some local competition. also, an exit button, has to be mentioned. that's pretty much it. this kind of thing entertains me for about an hour because there's no actual goal or progression, but [b]it's fun and people more into competing with others or themselves (or just going for grindy achievements) can find longevity in it[/b]. speaking of, [b]achievements are buggy[/b]. just start the tutorial and go back to the menu to get the ones for surviving until round 5 and 8 without losing a life.

leve, barato e interessante. a proposta do game é combinar blocos de cores igual, estilo candy crush. Diferença é que as pecinhas vem da esquerda para direita seguindo movimento de uma joaninha que vai andando numa linha, ao cruzar a linha de chegada finalizada a rodada. temos um total de vidas, e cada bloco que cai no abismo da linha de final é uma vida a menos. O que pega depois de umas horas é que a mesma coisa vai massando e dando raiva, parece de inicio que nunca iremos falhar, mais como candy crush dependemos da cor certa e momento certo. para jogar num noot instalado e para intervalos, até vai é viciante como um jogo rápido de celular. e nesse quesito merece ser recomendado por ter bom preço e um desafio interessante.

[h2] Общие впечатления [/h2] Игра - попытка адаптировать мобильную игру под PC. Попытка более-менее удачная... но... на компе играть в неё тыкая мышкой не очень удобно. Пальцем в сенсор всё же проще. [h2] Минусы [/h2] -игра не добавляет +1 к играм в библиотеке -нет карточек -юзать не очень удобно -есть очень сумасшедшие достижения -не удобно следить за окончанием уровня (жучок внизу жкрана не очевиден, часто упускаешь, что упали последние блоки) -из-за пункта выше приходится играть с музыкой, она - навязчивая (в конце раунда игра издаёт характерный звук, по которому ориентироваться об окончании раунда проще, чем по жучку) Плюсы расписывать не буду, я их не обнаружил. Игра дешевая на скидках 80-90%, и если вы хотите потратить уйму времени на получение ачивок - покупайте. А я пошёл дальше блоки тыкать, чтобы все ачивки добить. Псих, шоле...

I cannot beat myself. :)

Un ottimo gioco passatempo. Va un po' a fortuna, non è detto che si debba essere solo scaltri. Bella grafica, Buoni anche gli effetti sonori e la musica. La musica, però, alla lunga mette ansia e stanca. Un buon passatempo, ripeto, a poco prezzo. Consigliato.

super cooles spiel ;)

Super game!

Для меня - игра легенда. Класно что её за копейки выпустили в steam.
