Last June, Gameloft launched a fun little Breakout style game that required users to have an account with Tango. Sure, the free messaging service is a great thing to have, but not everyone wants or needs it. Those non-Tango users were left in the dust until this week when Gameloft launched a version of the game that doesn’t require any sort of sign in.
Candy Block Breaker is a Breakout style game that features some pretty adorable graphics. There is a candy-munching warthog-like fuzz ball that bounces from a platform covered in foliage. The bricks he breaks are yummy candies that look like they might have come from your grandma’s hidden stash. When you bust open the hard shells, sweet treats will sometimes fall from the sky and give extra points.
Let me start by saying that, although the game features a lot of candy graphics, it is nothing like Candy Crush Saga, which is a match-three type game. This is a brick breaking game. Totally different genre.
In this game, players control a platform that sits just above a cool clear water stream. The candy-eating blue creature sits on top of the platform until you tap it. He then jumps into the air, busting any candy shell he can. He then ricochets off of candy, walls, platforms, or whatever hard surface he touches.
Your job is to keep him from falling into the waters below by dragging the platform across the screen.
Some of the candy has special bonus items inside to help you earn extra points. For example, one candy drops some sticky goo on your platform so that the blue guy stays in place until you launch him manually. Another candy drops a multitude of creatures that all count toward the busting mayhem.
As noted above, the game has been around for more than a year as Candy BlockBreaker for Tango. However, only Tango subscribers had access to its features. This version is available to anyone and does not require any sort of sign in or sign up. However, you do have the ability to sign into Facebook if you want to share your high score with others.
Candy Block Breaker is available on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch for free. Download it in the App Store today.
