A $1.50 puzzle game. Nothing special.

"What if Fez was a block puzzle game?" is the main concept behind Pixplode, and the best thing I can say about it is that they were able to implement the Fez perspective shift pretty well. You rotate your 2D viewpoint into a 3D space, and click exploding blocks to try and throw your target into the objective. The concept is simple, but this game fails for me because it's impossible to predict what's going to happen. The game is physics based, so the only way to tell what will happen when you detonate certain blocks is to just do it. You play this game by completely guessing, and if you fail to get it in the first few attempts, you're likely to be stuck trying every single possibility. I also noticed that repeating the exact same actions can sometimes lead to slightly different results, which adds to the frustration. It's a kinda neat idea for a game, but it doesn't work out well in practice. Also, this game gives you an achievement for every single level you complete, which really wasn't necessary.
