Monday Mind Teasers: Blosics 2 photo

Do you like explosions? Of course you do. Pixel art adventure games are fun and all, but sometimes I just need digital destruction to keep me amused. Throw in some slingshot game design, particle scatter physics, 30 levels and a level editor, and and you've got Blosics 2.

Different sized ammo pellets cost you more points, and the more blocks you can knock off the screen, the more points you earn. Each level challenges you to earn 100 points before progressing on, and eventually different blocks (red blocks knocked off the screen deduct points) and obstacles are introduced to make things even more hectic and exciting. A few of the levels in the middle, and then a few more at the end, are incredibly gratifying. My two favorites are the bomb and fireworks level and the balancing seesaw level.

You can play Igrek Productions' game Blosics here on PlayedOnline. As always, leave your high scores in the comments below!

First one made me get rather angry at a few levels. I shall have a go at this, but if you hear about a TFT screen wedged in someone's car in the morning, I'm holding you responsible!

I've been playing this in my off time in class. I'm on that damned balancing seesaw stage...so difficult unless I'm too distracted by everything else I do.

@Caspulex: Yep! I love that level! And the one with the blocks around bombs like flower petals that shoot off like fireworks and start chain reactions.

I hope a Blosics 3 isn't too far off.

That bomb one was awesome.

If I might suggest, if you haven't done segments on them, at least:

Wake the Box
Wake the Royalty (sequel)
and of course, Use Boxmen.

The last of which is balls to the walls hard with some of the timing things.

This was a fun distraction from my romp through the Capital Wasteland! ^^

Just finished with a score of 4872. I didn't notice the challenges until around stage 18 though =P

Completed 22 of the challenges before deciding my mind would melt if I attempted any more.

That rocked.

Scored 6636 with all challenges done.

I feel like I must be missing something because I'm almost positive I couldn't have gotten another 1300 points like the guys with the top scores.
