Raining Blobs, a Tetris styled arcade game for Windows Phone

Raining Blobs

Raining Blobs is a relatively new Windows Phone arcade game that has a bit of a Tetris styled flair to it. Yous accept to grouping blobs of color together every bit they fall from the superlative of the screen and articulate them past adding two of the same colored blobs that have stars.

Raining Blobs has five gaming modes, plenty of challenges and is colorfully animated. The controls are a footling cumbersome to begin with just y'all do get used to them the more you lot play. There is a slight addictive quality to the game and if yous're looking for a casual game that has a little challenge to pass the fourth dimension with, Raining Blobs is worth a endeavour.

Game Layout

Raining Blobs Menu

Raining Blobs master menu has a bit of a cluttered feel to it with controls to mute your sound, admission the leaderboard, visit the game'south Facebook and Twitter pages, view the About Screen and visit the Aid Section lining the top of the screen. The game has a retro, Atari-styled soundtrack and after a while, that mute push button tin can come in handy.

Gaming options sit at the bottom of the chief card with a Hyper Mode being available by tapping the yellowish cake in the eye of the menu. The five gaming modes that break downwards every bit follows:

Normal Mode: Game play follows a more leisurely pace where you advance through levels of play, trying to best the acme scores
Hard Mode: Game play picks up a bit with a quicker pace and more challenging game play.
Hyper Mode: Described as the ultimate claiming, the Hyper Way simply generates the blobs at a heightened pace.
Timed Mode: You are given ii minutes to see how many points you can score.
Story Mode: Lx levels of game play with preset puzzles you have to conquer.

Game Play

Regardless of which gaming mode you choose, game play is fairly consistent with Raining Blobs. The game has a Tetris feel to it in that you take various shaped blobs falling from the height of the screen and you have to group them together past color. When the same colored blobs are grouped, they merge into one blob.

Some of the blobs have stars and when you group ii of the same colored blobs that accept stars, they are removed from the screen and you lot earn points. The larger the blob, the more points earned.

Gaming controls line the bottom and side of the gaming screen that control the falling blob'due south horizontal position and the blobs rotation. The controls are a little on the cumbersome side at get-go but afterward a few minutes of game play, you get used to them. I'm non sure if screen swipes would have been a meliorate option.

Raining Blobs Game Play

Forth the side of the gaming screen y'all will find a display of the next blob that is set to fall, a count of your cleared blobs and a interruption push button. Beyond the top of the gaming screen you lot volition observe your score and level of difficulty. If playing a timed game, your game timer will appear at the pinnacle of the screen likewise.

Raining Blobs does have a few power-ups that show up during the grade of game play that will add a star to a blob, remove a row of blobs, and remove three blobs. Black blobs are too present that volition cake your colored blobs from merging. The just way to clear the blackness blobs is past immigration the colored groups effectually surrounding them.

Game play will proceed (depending on the game mode) when your blobs accomplish the top of the screen, the game timer expires or you neglect to meet the goal of your current puzzle level. Game step with all but the Story Mode will increment the further you progress in the game.

Overall Impression

Raining Blobs is a game that may exist a good illustration for the one-time saying, "Y'all can't guess a book by information technology's cover". The menu, heck even the Shop Tile, gives off the impression that the game was developed with little rhyme or reason. All the same, if you give Raining Blobs a chance, it might change your opinion.

Game play is challenging enough to keep things interesting and once y'all get the hang of the controls (mainly remembering the rotation buttons) you will have a fighting adventure. I wouldn't heed seeing an option to use swipe controls to maneuver your blobs and the option to alter or rotate the groundwork prototype.

Still, while there is room for improvement, as is Raining Blobs isn't a bad game for our Windows Phone gaming library.

At that place is a free trial version available with the total version running $.99. You tin observe Raining Blobs hither in the Windows Phone Store.
