Pixel Blocked is a puzzle game. The aim of the game is simple, fill in a grid of missing blocks by shooting your block cannon at the grid. There are over 180 levels to work your way through and plenty of variety in terms of the designs of the grid and the types of blocks such as magnetic and disintegrating ones. Graphics are nicely done and the music and sounds work well with the style of the game. Stay tuned for our full review soon but the short of it is 80 :MSPoints: well spent!
