Ahoy there me lads and lasses! It’s great that there are so many mobile games that are available in the market today. It keeps me and the crew occupied, especially when we have to travel several days to our next destination. Sometimes, it’s also nice to play those old games that make us reminisce of the old times. It’s also cool that many of them have their own twist or a fresh take on those classic games. An example of this is the app that we will have for review today. It’s called Block Slide – Wood Jewel by HT93 Studio. So, batten down the hatches and let’s start.
It’s like tetris and other block games but with a twist
It will remind you of tetris because of the blocks, but there are no falling bricks. Like block games, you can also move the blocks to complete a line and remove it from the game window to earn points. But the twist on this one is that the new blocks are coming from the bottom. So, if you are used to similar games but blocks are coming from the top, it may need a bit of practice to be familiarized and get yourself accustomed to the gameplay. But it’s also something refreshing, and will challenge you, if you are looking for something new.
It’s free with minimal ads
You can get this fun game at no cost. It comes with in-app purchases but it’s entirely up to you if you want to buy them. You can keep playing the game without spending any money. It has advertisements, but the good news is that they are minimal. You will not be bombarded with them, so you can enjoy playing without too many ads interrupting you.
It has adorable artwork
The main game window has a dark background, which suits the colorful blocks, so you can focus on them. On top of the game window is your best score, and your current score. There are only three block designs available, but they are all adorable. There’s the woods, which actually don’t look like the usual woods that you may have seen, because instead of brown blocks, it has different colors of blocks. The jewels are shiny like gems. Then there’s the cats, which as you may already guess, are woods with cats, which are all cute.
You have to restart the game when bricks are locked
Unfortunately, when the blocks are locked in the chained blocks, you will get stuck, and you need to restart the game. It would have been better if there was an option to remove blocks or the game randomly moving the blocks to give you a chance to move forward with the game.

Thumbs down

The verdict
Block Slide – Wood Jewel is highly recommended, especially for those who are into tetris and block games. It’s free, it has adorable graphics, and you will not be bombarded with ads. It has the right level of difficulty, so it’s fun and challenging at the same time.
