Block Shock

(Got this game courtesy of the developer's submission to SteadyGiveaways! Thanks!) [h1]The only shock I got is that it's poorly developed and broken.[/h1] [i]Blockshock[/i] is your typical [i]Super Breakout[/i] clone with nothing new to offer. It's difficult to change the directory of the ball without either a slim corner of your paddle or the luck of the ball hitting a block in a certain way. Basically, it's an even more dumbed down version of [i]CRACKHEAD[/i]. So, what makes this game broken, exactly? Well, you're given a few lives and your goal is to clear the screen of blocks with your ball without the ball missing your paddle. Simple enough, yes? Unfortunately, given its current state, level progression will be LOCKED if you miss the ball even once. The stage will reset and even if you empty the stage on your second life, you'll be stuck in an eternal limbo of emptiness, smacking your ball against the walls. So if you want to beat the game? You guessed it...you have to do the whole game in a single life! In the end, is it worth your money? Nope! I would rather be playing [i]CRACKHEAD[/i] over this...scratch that, I'd rather be playing [i]Super Breakout[/i]. The…

I love brick breakers/arkanoids and this one even as simple as it's made could have been an ok timewaster but unfortunately it has a bug that still hasnt been fixed since the release a year ago. Before mentioned bug forces the player to complete the entire game with one ball because if you die you will have to restart the game from scratch because even if you smash all the bricks with the next one the game will get stuck. Its propably doable to complete the game as i reached level 7 but i'll argue that its propably only a very small minority that would be able to do that. My advice stay far away from this game and propably the developers games as well because if he cant take the time to fix what seems like a pretty simple bug he doesnt really desserve to get paid either.

A game-breaking bug results in levels not progressing even after completion. This was reported in the discussions over a year ago, and there has been absolutely no developer contact.

I stupidly didn't read the reviews before buying this game for 0,39 euro. Its so bugged and uncontrollable, that its impossible to play. You can change directions, next level won't load if you die even once and you often get stuck in a loop that's almost impossible to get out of. Stay away from this game. Only reason I keep playing, is to try and save my avg. completion rate.

So... I was so excited then I saw this on steam because I loved DXball when I was a kid. But this is so bad I would'nt recommend this to any1 I like. First of all you cant change the direction of the ball what so ever. And sometimes it will be caught in a loop and continue for ages and there is nothing you can do to change it except to catch it. Second thing is when you finally beat a level it could continue with a black screen and a bouncing ball forever (happend to me twice during the little time I played). When that happens you cant just restart that one level you have to start the whole game over, which sucks. Too bad, love the idea but its very poorly executed..

In this video I take a look at Block Shock a block breaking Arkanoids game. This game is faulty. If you loose a life during a level the level won't end after you clear out all the blocks. The game isn't Early Access. The developer was told about the error over a year ago and acknowledged it according to the Steam discussions for the game... https://steamcommunity.com/app/783220/discussions/0/1700541698705443291/ But it STILL isn't fixed over a YEAR later. So essentially this game is a scam and should be removed from Steam. DON'T BUY! Watch the video to see what the game is like, every time I loose a life I can't finish the level..... https://youtu.be/F3zQ3wArd6Y Check'n Games, providing you with as many Let's Play's as we can.
