Block DropBlock Drop was a great surprise to me.  It is a great little game and is currently on sale for $0.99 in the app store.  Controls are very simple.  The arrows on the right control direction.  Holding down the “button” on the left allows you to jump your “gem” two places.  It is kinda like a cross between Time Box or Nintaii and one of those peg-jumping games.  Instead of rolling a block around to get it to land on a particular place, the object is to jump from square to square, making them disappear as you leave them, until just the one with a checkerboard is left. Makes for a very unique take on an old classic.  Since you can get multiple blocks stacked up in the same location, some squares will have to be jumped on more than once to make them all disappear.  In case these “stacks” obstruct your view, a small “map” appears in the top right corner of the screen.  If you get stuck, there is a great option to show the solution.

This map and the solution gets critical as you go to higher and higher levels.  Every level that you play is completely randomly generated.   Level 1 starts with 5 blocks.  Each subsequent level contains one more block than the previous one. Level 21 has 25 blocks and so on up to level 999 which contains 1004 blocks.  When you choose a level, you are basically choosing a difficulty level.  Ultimately, this means that you have an unlimited number of “levels” with 999 levels of difficulty.

Not only are the graphics stunning on the 999 levels, but the computer generated sound score is very relaxing and, unexpectedly to me, really adds a lot to the game.  One thing I could possibly would suggest for this title is an “undo” feature and/or a button to reset the level.  Block Drop is $0.99 in the app store for just a short period of time though, so get this while it is on sale.  It is the perfect addition to any puzzle-lover’s collection and makes my Must-Have list.  If you like puzzles, you won’t regret it.  This title is quickly becoming a favorite and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
