Blocksum (2007)

by Shintaro Sato

"Blocksum" is a line up game, similar to the classic game "Tetris". But in fact it adds a new idea to a well known concept:

Blocks can be removed by making them fit to their neighbouring blocks in number and quantity. For example, you need four blocks with the number four or seven blocks with the number seven to remove them. So if you have just six blocks with the number seven, you have to create another one by summing up neighbouring blocks so the result is finally seven (e.g. a block with the number five and a block with the number two or three blocks with the number two and one block with the number one).

This combination of the basic idea of "Tetris" and simple mathematics makes the game something special and is responsible for "Blocksum" being very addictive.

"Blocksum" has great graphics, nice music and it can be controlled with keyboard or gamepad.

  There's a new version of "Blocksum". It's called "Blocksum Omake" (which means bonus). Gameplay is more or less the same, but there are no bombs. That would make the game much harder, but on the other hand there's another new feature that makes the game much easier. I leave it to you to find out what it is, but I can tell you that it helps a lot and gives you the possibility to get out of most dangerous situations that would've ended the original "Blocksum".
  
  Here's a download link for "Blocksum Omake":

  Ok, I watched the video of that "nul" guy. At first I thought this is a bot playing , but he was in trouble in later stages, so I became convinced that he's a human.
  
  After reaching level 19 game becomes incredibly boring, at least to watch, since all you have to do is to link sevens and fives (furiously quick though). I stopped watching when he reached 1,300,000.
  
  Nice video anyway.

  Yes it is possible to reach that high scores. Ok, it's not possible for me, but you can watch the gameplay videos of the people who did when you enter the highscore list.
  
  Unbelievable...

  18000 here.
  
  I wonder how is it possible to make 2100000 and I come to conclusion that it is not. Highscores list is placed in game only for fun.
  
  Believe me.

  Wow, that's a clever puzzle game. I really like the combination of "Tetris" like gameplay and mathematics. It's quite addictive and I think I will stop wasting my time writing comments here and start playing again...

  This is basically a line up game, but instead of joining symbols, animals etc. your task is to join blocks with numbers to make them disappear. You have to join proper amount of blocks (corresponding with numbers), f.e. if you have 2 blocks of 3 you must create third one to make all three disappear. As in every line up game timing is crucial of course.
