Boy, those chain reactions are satisfying! Makes me feel boss to see all those pieces go!

I wonder, though--is there really any challenge to the game? For me, I had to clear out all the bottom row blocks because they wouldn't fall out on their own, but once I'd cleared out the bottom row, I was pretty much guaranteed to have a chain reaction that took out everything, so where is the challenge if it's just a matter of clicking the bottom blocks?

Also, personally I didn't care much for the look of the game at all. It's a kind of awkward mix of MS Paint-style cartoon and a semi-bevelled look for the interlocking blocks with a bunch of rather unpleasant colors put together. I think that shooting for a bold 2D look with just a handful of colors without the bevel and without the South Park-looking MS Paint kid would be more visually appealing.

So, as I said, the game was satisfying because of the combos, but I wonder if they aren't pretty much impossible to NOT get.

@Cybearg
The chalenge lies in NOT destroying the 'right' blocks :)
Letting the little guy fall takes all your points.
That said, it's not a very challenging game.

I like the concept!
Maybe add a countdown could spice up a little the gameplay.

I like it, though it is a bit easy.. If it used a physics model and the pieces had mass (so there's balance/toppling & leverage to take into account) it'd be trickier. It has a possible future. :)

I love that the guy's head explodes when he falls. Gratuitous violence FTW

Nice concept, with very satisfying chain reactions - the sound for that is great! That said it is quite easy if you just knock out all the blocks either side of a tower leading to the guy, then take out the floor blocks - maybe not the best way to the highest score per level though I guess, but since the aim is to complete as many levels as possible without failing, there's no real motivation to get the highest score per level.

Great concept. I wish i had ability to destroy other blocks, while chain reaction is still going

Cool game idea, works out to be a bit to easy but you can add stuff to fix that. Maybe instead of 1 guy there are several scattered around. Or maybe instead of choosing any piece you have to pick one that matches a randomly chosen color.

Fascinating game. Just add some more challenge to the game. Making the combos could be part of that challenge. I would love to see you add special blocks, as you mentioned. Good job on this!

I love it! The mechanics are fun, but ultimately it is very simple to win.
