Brickblast U
SCORE: 70
Nintendo continues to improve on an almost weekly basis in terms of
bringing in indie developers. Brickblast U is the latest example to
enter Family Friendly Gaming Universe. What kind of game is Brickblast U
on the Wii U? It is a Breakout kind of a video game. With rockets and
lasers.
Someone out there is probably thinking of sharks with laser beams. But
that movie has nothing to do with Brickblast U. And it is not very
family friendly baby. Your paddle can earn power ups that allow limited
rockets and/or laser beam attacks. Those can be extremely helpful in a
pinch.
The worst part about Brickblast U is the timer. This will slow your
progress through the fourteen levels. Which seems a bit low for a
downloadable video game selling for $3.99. Brickblast U does have one
major ray of shining light. Can you guess what it is?
Brickblast U has amazing sounds, and sound bytes. Brickblast U feels
like an old school arcade video game. The music in Brickblast U can pump
up the volume to the point where your mind is aware, alert, and
SQUIRREL! Sorry got a bit distracted, and had to wait for my arm to stop
shaking from all the blood flow.
Graphically Brickblast U is okay looking. There are strange designs on
the floors of some of the levels. There is also this freaky looking
screen that scares little children, and little monsters before we play
levels. I have no earthly idea what it is. It just scares me.
The final verdict is Brickblast U is a solid Break Out clone. It is a
bit on the short side. There could have been more modes. The sounds
excel, and the rest of this Wii U video game shows promise for this
developer in the future. Brickblast U shows you do not need massive
teams to bring innovative ideas to the industry.
