![]() It’s also the cheapest game in the entire Wii U eShop at $1.99, and I do recommend it. Besides the short length and the lack of curve, Blok Drop U is a perfectly fine game. I don’t know how it built the inertia to roll, but that screwed me over once or twice. Like having the target block fall straight down, without sloping, landing flush on a platform, and then rolling. My only other complaint is sometimes the physics seem to screw you over. With the possible exception of the saw levels, Blok Drop U is about as stimulating as a warehouse full of straw.īlok Drop U was developed by RCMADIAX ($1.99 said the developer is paying for the word “Block” in monthly installments in the making of this review) I know that minimalism is an established style, especially on the indie scene, but games are a visual medium and gamers are looking for stimuli. Maybe that wasn’t their actual intent, but it feels that way. These visuals almost feel like they’re giving up on attracting non-puzzle fans. I think the developers failed themselves as commercial artists here. I certainly wasn’t bored by it, but I’m wired to enjoy puzzle games. Blok Drop U’s visuals are so dull that it becomes almost tiring. But, I kind of have to talk about it here. ![]() ![]() I’m very much a “gameplay is King” type of chick. At Indie Gamer Chick, I almost never talk about graphics. I guess I enjoyed Blok Drop U, but I have a few nits to pick. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Portal has creatively bankrupted an entire generation. Sadly, everyone wants a sweet, sweet taste of that Portal-style minimalism pie. Anything would have been better than nothing. The developers really should have come up with some kind of theme, ANY THEME, for Blok Drop U.
