Clone Bloxx Review
By nacho101 on
25 December 2010
Pros: Very challenging and well-thought out, decent graphics
Cons: Sound effects were pretty loud, no music
Clone Bloxx is very original
This is one of the better GM games of its kind.
Graphics: 3/5
While I do admit that it's pretty hard to make the graphics look good in puzzle games, the graphics in the game look pretty bland. I would suggest giving the game more life. Maybe have some random machines in the background, or electricity running through the blocks.
Sound: 2/5
The sound effects are very loud and sharp, and surprised me the first few times I heard them. You should the effects down a bit. Also, while I honestly don't care if a puzzle game has music or not, I would suggest getting/making some good music. Great music really sets the mood.
Gameplay: 5/5
Here is where the game shines. The puzzles are very intricate, and require a lot of forethought to complete. I do have a few minor gripes with the engine, though. Right before you land, it feels like the player bounces a bit. It doesn't really affect the core gameplay much, but I found it annoying.
Story: N/A
N/A
Interface: 4/5
The interface works well, except for the in-game text. Text is written on the upper left corner, and I can't see it all because it's being blocked by blocks (that pun was unintentional). Also, you should make it clear how to restart if you mess up. I couldn't figure out how to do it until after I left my game, and I also couldn't remember the password.
Overall 4/5
While I do have some gripes with the interface and engine, the game itself is very well-made with excellent puzzles. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks nacho101 for the Christmas present,
I hadn't worked on CB for a while until today, and I found some coding which I had previously overlooked, which caused the bouncing player, among other glitches.
I have now fixed that, and I am working on fixing the last (reported) glitch in the game.
I love the review, and I can see a lot of thought has gone into it.
Thank you.
