About AD BLOCKER: An Action Puzzle Game

AD BLOCKER offers a fresh take on the classic gameplay. Inspired by action puzzle games of the 90's and 2000's, and built for head-to-head gameplay between 0-2 players, AD BLOCKER is a fast-paced match-3 puzzler like no other!With a low skill floor and high skill ceiling, everyone will be able to play at their own pace. So whether you’re new to the action puzzle scene or a long-time genre fan of games like Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack and TETRIS, AD BLOCKER has something for you!

Gameplay

The rules are simple: Each player is given a grid of blocks, and they each control their own Cursor.
At any time, a player can Swap the two Blocks inside their Cursor. If you Swap Blocks into a straight line of 3 or more, then a match is made! Blocks swapped over open air will fall in, towards the middle. Keep your grid empty by dropping Blocks in, and try to make matches on the way down!
That’s all it takes to hop in and start blocking ads for yourself! Fill up your opponent’s grid before they can fill yours to claim victory! But don’t let the simplicity fool you. There’s much to learn and master in AD BLOCKER… In the unique Linear Garbage system, Blocks matched will be sent to the opponent’s grid in the same rows they were matched in. Skilled players may be able to make multiple matches in the same area to really stack up the punishment. So, pay close attention to the warning lights between the two grids, and try to keep your Blocks from piling up in one place! These matches can get fast. Keep your eyes on that metronome in the center and keep up with the pace as it gets faster and faster! And if it's too much to handle, try adding some Extra Boards to give both players another chance when their grid fills up!

Game Modes

In Story Mode (1 player), experience the latest season of daytime game show Ad Blocker: Commercial Chaos. In it, the stars of commercials new and old face off for the grand prize: the chance to wish for anything their heart desires!
Featuring the faces of commercials such as:
  • Magi-Gro: The plant food that makes your garden grow like magic!
  • Rosemary Road: Where little monsters learn to be smart, kind, and always curious!
  • Cowboyonicle: The legend of six brave cowboys in a time before time…
And more!
In Quick Match (0-2 players), face off against your favorite Player 2, challenge the CPU at your own pace, or sit back and spectate a match between 2 CPU players. The game speed and CPU difficulty are customizable, so players can freely choose to have a relaxed bout, an intense 1v1, or anything in between! What are you waiting for? Let's block some ads!
*This is a work of fiction. All similarities to real people or events are purely coincidental. However, all similarities to real commercials are fully intentional and should be treated as (tasteful) parody. This game is not made in collaboration with or as promotion for any of the brands being parodied.

After diving deep into Ad Blocker, I can say that it's 100% worth it for fans of the genre. A unique take on swapping block arcade puzzle games, Ad Blocker hits every single nostalgic note while also being a veritable challenge. The story difficulty ramps up to just the right level of nail biting back-and-forth that gets right to the core of the genre. A lot of charm to this game!

Really enjoyable game. Fast-paced match 3 stacking. Good pixel art. Single player mode is pretty easy but still enjoyable. The story is quite good and short. I'm excited to play this game with friends. I won my copy of this game in a tournament.

AD Blocker is an amazing puzzle game. It’s deceptively simple as you start but it gets increasingly more complex as you learn new strategies to beat the harder levels. One of the main selling points for me was the story. The characters are all so interesting and unique which makes their interactions engaging. I always had to play the next level so I can see how the characters would react to each other. The ending is really interesting as it has this full circle moment so I would suggest to play all the way through for it to make sense. But beyond that, the gameplay is great and the versus mode is really fun with friends!

Incredible game! Although action puzzle games aren't a genre I delve into much, as an enjoyer of fast-response types like rhythm games, I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I got the chance to play it all the way through, and when I got home I immediately went to buy it for myself. The controls are responsive and intuitive, and the concept of the right-to-left instead of the usual top-to-bottom scroll is very unique and fun. As I mentioned, this genre isn't my forte, so pros may have a different experience, however I felt the difficulty was well balanced! I would occasionally lose, but never felt frustrated or got stuck for very long. Each round progressed smoothly. The art is great and is easy on the eyes; it isn't distracting. The characters are all super creative and lovable with very distinctive personalities. It hard to pick a fav, but I am partial to Bonzer lol The story, as well, is full of intrigue and kept me guessing all the way until the very end. It doesn't reveal too much right away and let's things slowly develop at a good pace. Last, but not least, the music is super catchy! I find myself humming a few of the BGM tracks randomly throughout the day. Overall, awesome game an…

SUCH A FUN GAME!! Genuinely recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzle action games. Not only is the gameplay super edge-of-you-seat, but the art is awesome, the story is well written, the characters are all unique and charming, and the music is insane. I've never been great a games of this genre, but it's still super fun for me and I recommend this game to literally everyone. 10/10
