To be honest, when I saw this "Crush Blocks Together", I was stunned for several seconds. It's not because of how stunning the picture is, or how novel the gameplay is, but it just suddenly reminds me of a picture - the pixelated "Tetris" on the small Nokia screen under the high school desk. At that time, there were so many fancy props. A slender mobile phone chain was hung to prevent it from falling. You could type hundreds of lines with your thumb blind exercises. When the bell rang, the whole class's "tick-tick" sound came one after another, which was more punctual than the school bell.
I'm not going to brag about it, but when you play "Crush Blocks Together", the core feel of "swipe left and right to fill the rows" is really a bit like the pure energy of the old block. It's not a fancy match-3 gem that just lets you drag blocks, fill in rows, and eliminate them, but the rhythm is very comfortable and you can't stop playing one game after another. Especially the cat-shaped squares with all kinds of strange postures. Watching them disappear with a "meow", it feels inexplicably relaxing. 🐱
What's a bit interesting is its two skill settings, one "eliminates the cats in the top row" and the other "bombs to eliminate an area". When playing Tetris back then, it was not so humane. We relied on the hard twisting feel to jump repeatedly when stuck on the edge of death. Now that these two skills are activated, it makes me feel proud, as if I have been equipped with a plug-in. Especially at the end of the level stack, when the screen is full of blocks, and a bomb falls, the exhilarating feeling of "crash" collapse, to be honest, is more decompressing than tearing up papers after the college entrance examination. 🧨
Of course, I'm not bragging. The style of this game is indeed youthful, and the cats are all cute and cute, which is completely different from the hard-core pixel style of the past. But if you really play it, you will find that it is still an "elimination game" at its core - it requires no less eyesight, prediction, and sense of space. I played for half an hour, and in the later levels, my palms were slightly sweaty. The long-lost sense of concentration was exactly the same as when I was secretly playing handheld games during self-study classes twenty years ago.
As for the "Endless Challenge" mode, well, I would call it a "black hole of time." Once I enter the state, all I can think about is "one more line" and "one more game". I often look up and find that it's dark outside the window. This probably eliminates the most original charm of the game - the rules are so simple that grandma can play it, but when she gets up, she even forgets to eat. 🍚
By the way, let's make a final digression. The developer is Nanjing Moye Network Technology Co., Ltd., and the name is quite ancient. Moxie is a famous sword. The result is a meowing casual game, which is full of contrast. The charging model is 0 yuan, and it is purely free to download. This is worthy of praise. Nowadays, there are various in-app purchase traps in the mobile game market, and there are not many clear streams that can let you play quietly and happily. Although there may be some advertisements in it, I just tolerated it because of the cat.
In short, if you are an old guy like me who was squatting in front of the old mobile phone screen and rubbing cubes, you can try this one as a high-definition reset screenshot of your boyhood. If you are a new player, even better, you can spend the weekend on the sofa with a group of cats accompanying you, swipe left and right, and eliminate your worries line by line. 🐾
Not to mention, my phone still has 20% battery, I will play another round. Don't ask why you don't charge it - because I remember that the peak state of gaming was when the battery was below 10%. 😌
