About GravBlocks
GravBlocks is both a falling-block puzzle game and a match-three puzzle game, but is also uniquely different than any other match-three game. In the most basic aspect of the game, players change gravity in order to build score multipliers, but must do so carefully! Hazards can appear on every surface of the play area, but players are given tools to work against them. GravBlocks demands a combination of reflexes and strategy in it's gameplay, and as such, eschews the concept of stacking chains found in nearly every other game of this genre.
GravBlocks has five gameplay modes:
On top of this, GravBlocks contains 80 Achievements, which are tied to over a dozen unlockables, as well as online leaderboards for Challenge and Zen modes!
GravBlocks has five gameplay modes:
- Challenge — Classic-style puzzle game, blocks fall in, challenge increases, and players play for a high score. Players can edit settings for this mode.
- Destruction — The opposite of Challenge, here players are challenged to destroy blocks and just clear the screen. In this mode, Wild blocks open a whole wall of Destruction Hazards.
- Zen — Like Challenge, but the difficulty never increases.
- Puzzle — 150 levels where players are given a set of blocks that must be cleared with only a few moves–the first 40 are cleared with only one move! A solutions guide is offered as a DLC package.
- Story — Story mode pits players against five jerk aliens in an alien abduction scenario! Having reached the limits of what “traditional probing” can teach them, they now test abductees. This mode gives players specific tasks to complete for each level.

Possibly the pinnacle of game design, it is one of the best games ever created. Better than anything you have ever played. If you haven't played this you are unenlightened.1 found this helpful
gravity but also blocks1 found this helpful
Utterly inscrutable. I don't even remember buying this game, maybe I got it in a bundle? Everything about this game is bizarre and terrible, and I legitimately feel worse for having played it. The controls are horrid, the "tutorial" is a dense and impenetrable joke, and the overall presentation of the game makes me suspect that it genuinely was made by aliens as some sort of bizarre testing for human subjects.1 found this helpful
GravBlocks is a decent little match-3 puzzler with a genuinely clever twist — shifting gravity mid-game can either ruin your perfectly planned combo or open up something even better, which keeps things interesting. Zen mode is dangerously addictive, and for under four bucks there's a surprising amount of content across the different game modes. That said, the controls are a real problem: the keyboard and mouse setup is confusing, there's almost no tutorial to speak of, and the UI feels like it was designed for a controller but doesn't commit to that either. The backgrounds and overall presentation are rough around the edges, which makes the game harder to recommend when the match-3 genre is so competitive. If you can stomach the learning curve and clunky interface, there's a satisfying game buried in here — but most players will bounce off before they find it.

Tags: Casual - Match 3 Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Outcompeted by the sea of quality Match3 games out there. Xbox360 pad was a nice effort. Audiovisually mediocre. Matching arrows to make blocks is not visually intuitive. Xbox 360 pad detected which is a nice touch for a genre filled with mobile ports. Fullscreened correctly. The game is audiovisually mediocre. you have a two sided bracket which swaps whichever two cubes with each other with the objective of matching. Matching arrow blocks changes the orientation of the board by making the blocks fall in that direction. Thats about all. Entertainment value rock bottom, and outdone in the genre by countless other titles.
