Groovin’ Blocks Brings Clubbing To The iPhone

Looking to add another match-three puzzler to your iPhone app collection? "You can't be serious," you ask. These days, the iTunes App store is brimming over with match-three misfits. Most would hardly see a reason for the addition of another one. Yet, Groovin' Blocks is enough of a stand out to justify its existence. Zoo Games is marketing Groovin' Blocks as more of a jam session than a regular puzzle game. After a successful spin as a Wiiware title, Groovin' Blocks hits the iPhone screen in full force.

Memories of your favorite dance club will flash before your eyes while playing Groovin' Blocks. Fans of pulsating lights and techno beats will find themselves at home with this app. Rhythm is its soul and puzzling is its heart. In Tetris fashion, players are challenged to align blocks according to color in an empty room. Matching three or more blocks of the same color eliminates them and frees up space for the onslaught of blocks dropping from above. Soon into gameplay, multipliers and power-ups are introduced into the mix. Multipliers are activated by lining up block placement with scrolling vibes entering from the sides of the iPhone screen. These remain in effect until a beat is missed. This process is enhanced when blocks the special markings enter the fray. Dropping these blocks into place with the beat grants a power-up that can increase the value of surrounding blocks.

Groovin' Blocks includes 50 levels which are arranged by songs. Locked levels are opened by reaching scoring achievements with matches, power-ups and multipliers. Casual, Experienced, and Hard difficulty levels can be selected in the playing arena. Each track has a happy / trippy feel while being quite different from the last. An easily navigated user interface is presented but we wished the instruction boxes were a little more flushed out looking. While no online scoring system is yet available, we guess Zoo Games will add one soon.

Groovin' Blocks is definitely not your run-of-the-mill match-three puzzler. While it is Tetris-like at its core, the app offers enough surprises along the way to make it stand out in a night-club crowd. For its current price of $1.99, we recommend you take a look at Groovin' Blocks if you feel like bustin' a move in the grocery store waiting line.
