Blocksum

Post by eMTe »

This is basically a line up game, but instead of joining symbols, animals etc. your task is to join blocks with numbers to make them disappear. You have to join proper amount of blocks (corresponding with numbers), f.e. if you have 2 blocks of 3 you must create third one to make all three disappear. As in every line up game timing is crucial of course. ;)

Wow, that's a clever puzzle game. I really like the combination of "Tetris" like gameplay and mathematics. It's quite addictive and I think I will stop wasting my time writing comments here and start playing again... ;)

Am downloading right now, as I have a few minutes. Looks pretty cool from the site description! Can't wait to try.

Old trains never die. They just sit in ruin and wait until the day they are taken in by a skilled craftsman and rebuilt to their former glory.

18000 here.

I wonder how is it possible to make 2100000 and I come to conclusion that it is not. Highscores list is placed in game only for fun.

Believe me. :gumcool:

Yes it is possible to reach that high scores. Ok, it's not possible for me, but you can watch the gameplay videos of the people who did when you enter the highscore list.

Unbelievable... :teaseface:

Ok, I watched the video of that "nul" guy. At first I thought this is a bot playing :P , but he was in trouble in later stages, so I became convinced that he's a human. :P

After reaching level 19 game becomes incredibly boring, at least to watch, since all you have to do is to link sevens and fives (furiously quick though). I stopped watching when he reached 1,300,000. :P

Nice video anyway.

There's a new version of "Blocksum". It's called "Blocksum Omake" (which means bonus). Gameplay is more or less the same, but there are no bombs. That would make the game much harder, but on the other hand there's another new feature that makes the game much easier. I leave it to you to find out what it is, but I can tell you that it helps a lot and gives you the possibility to get out of most dangerous situations that would've ended the original "Blocksum".

Here's a download link for "Blocksum Omake":
