Tower Bloxx

I’ve now filled my city with towers and it has a population of 7,980 and is level 14/20.

I’ve been given a parade by my citizens… and been told that to get to the highest city level I need a population of 19,000.

This may take longer than I was expecting.

BAD THING: It’s bloody hard to play on a moving bus.

GOOD THING: My city building progress has slowed down a lot, which should help me get a few more precious minutes from that mode.

Decided to download this for my phone after reading this review. Took me bloody ages to find somewhere selling it, but found it on Yahoo! in the end. Seems to be a reasonable €3 and that doesn’t seem to involve signing up for anything nasty.

Anyway, I’ve had a go and it’s good fun. Another example of one-button gaming, like Skipping Stone, but with a more fleshed out main mode where you have to build a city. It gets complicated because bigger towers, as well as being harder to build, can only be placed near certain other towers, so city layout becomes a head-spinning challenge. Well, it is for me. I’ve laid out my city in a bad way, so I need to recover it. Luckily, you can overwrite old buildings.

Only concern for now is that after a few minutes of play I’ve got up to level 11 of 20, but I can always replay. And there’s the endless high score mode there, too.

It’s one of those games that seems stupidly easy when everything’s going okay, but then can turn into a disaster with one false move. Rhythm, you see.
