Disc Brick

Saw this game after the creator posted it on Reddit and I love it. I’ve spent wayyyy to much time on this game for my own good (just hit 174). It gets 4 stars due to a few simple things that should be changed. The main one is that the 2x power ups should be stackable, as I find almost no reason to save them after another one shows up on the board. The second thing is that the 2x power ups should be more consistent. Sometimes I’ll be playing and they will show up twice in a short period of time when i don’t even need them, and then other times I will have gone through 30-40 before finding them. This brings me to my last point, which is the predictably. After playing this game for about a month at least 2 hours a day, I can name exactly when the big waves of blocks come. There are ones ~ 30,50,68,88,114,135,150,180. I don’t think i should be able to say that. One more thing, there is this feature where two blocks that are next to each other can be hit at the same time. I’ve tried mastering the skill of consistently hitting them, but it is always a gamble. I can’t tell if this is a bug or a feature, but IMO it either needs to be turned off or given a larger margin of error so it can be used as a real strategy instead of a gamble.

After spending a couple days with this game, I love it. A free game with no ads is almost impossible to come by these days, and it is incredibly satisfying to play. I’ve played this with people nearby and they always stop what they’re doing to watch, because this game is that exciting to watch. However, a few ideas to make this game better, most are nitpicks. 1.) Achievement system: So players can have something to strive toward or feel satisfaction for clearing a while screen. 2.) Mute button: Add an option to turn off the sound in the game, I enjoy listening to music and I don’t like the clicking sounds of the game while I listen. 3.) Steep difficulty spike: At around round 50, this game fills your screen with blocks. I’d love to be able to go to triple digits, but once you get to 50, the game just about stops you from going further. Amazing game, I would highly recommend anyone download and play. Play this game as soon as you can.

Amazingly fun game. I’ve got double digit hours in the last week since installing it. Getting a bunch of discs stuff bouncing around is so rewarding. And the extra themes are 100% worth the dollar a piece. The only downside is the difficulty doesn’t scale well. So you spend most of your time playing to super slog/slow levels over and over to get back to where it’s really exciting. I’m not sure what the fix is, but I know that getting one extra disc per board clear isn’t it. That happens so rarely, and when you’re in the hard levels with a board full of 70+ point blocks, what good is 3 extra discs?

I really never play games on my phone. Any game I usually download gets deleted after a few days. I randomly saw this game posted somewhere on reddit it think and decided to download it. I have played it every single day. It’s perfect to pass even the smallest bit of time because you can close the app and open it again an hour later and it kicks right back up. I hope it stays this way. The game is also confidently simple. There’s not a ton of bells and whistles, but that’s because it really doesn’t need it. It’s simple in what it does but it does it really well. I’ve definitely recommended it to my friends. Keep up the good work!

I found this linked on Reddit and really liked it right away. The tweaks have only made it better. It’s a fun little distraction that I can put down after a few tries, but keep coming back to it regularly. My 1.0 high score was 96 but 1.1 was 161. I do have a couple suggestions going forward: 1. As of 1.1 the 2x power sometimes doesn’t come at all into the 50s or 60s and it gets overwhelming. A few times they bunched up and there’s no way to store more than 1. 2. The rounded edges sometimes slightly defy logic, especially when hitting between two. I get that it’s part of the challenge, but consider maybe another mode with bricks of varying roundness? 3. Other modes to consider would be adding bricks that don’t stay still. Or perhaps a time mode where bricks come constantly instead of by shot. Lastly (and not to get too deep into powerups) a brick that locks the bottom border for a short time? To let the discs go back up a 2nd time? Just brainstorming.
