Most of us probably had toy wooden blocks when we were children and spent hours stacking them on top of the other. Maybe it’s some deep, pleasant childhood memory that makes Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D ($5.99, iTunes link) such an enjoyable game. Or maybe it’s the beautiful graphics, flawless gameplay, solid background music and sound effects, and overall polish. In any case, Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D is one of those games that just seems to fit perfectly on the iPhone platform (it was also a popular game on FaceBook). It’s both easy to pick up and challenging to complete, and fun and relaxing to play all the way through. We are rating it 8.0 out of 10, highly recommended.
Tower Bloxx features nice graphics just about everywhere.
The basic gameplay of Tower Bloxx involves stacking chunks of buildings on top of each. You stack by dropping the the blocks via a swinging wire attached to an unseen crane. The wire’s elasticity would make any construction insurance company very nervous. If you don’t stack the building blocks straight, your task becomes even more complicated by the swaying of the building.
Built on top of that basic gameplay is a city building mode that adds a puzzle-game aspect. The object of city building mode is to reach a certain population by building the right type of building next to each other. Some building types can house more tenants than others.
At the beginning of each level, you’re presented with a blank city grid, and your job is to fill in that grid by constructing the buildings so that they contain as many tenants as possible. Dense overpopulation is not a problem in this city, apparently. You won’t want to drop just any type of building. The game requires you to think ahead about what building types go where. It sounds difficult, and in the higher two levels, it is. But the first level is a type of introductory level to get to know the different building types.
There's a puzzle game aspect to Tower Bloxx too.
When you reach certain population goals along the way, you’re presented with new building types and ornamental roofs that can dramatically increase your population. It’s a nice way of marking your progress and keeping the gameplay fresh.
Dropping the base of a skyscraper.
The graphics are cartoony but sharp and beautiful. W must say we love the style that the developers, Digital Chocolate, are applying to their games, and they are quickly becoming one of our favorites. The music and sound effects are als professional and help create a very enjoyable, whimsical game atmosphere.
Conclusion
Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D features beautiful graphics and flawless gameplay. It’s pretty much a perfect mobile game that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages, although some of the higher city-building levels require some advanced puzzle-solving skills. 8.0 out of 10, highly recommended.
