Mad Blocker Alpha

Mad Blocker Alpha is a distinct variation on the classic matching genre. In the game you have to match 4 or more of the same coloured blocks together to pop them.

Players are encouraged to stack large numbers of blocks, methodically with the intention of triggering large chains. When chains occur a roulette style device at the side of the screen spins and determines whether or not players should be entitled to a power up.

The game's story revolves around a race of creatures called Fluzzle's, who hail from a fictional place called Machu Popyu. Evil creatures called Mokes have infected the world and have turned it into an industrial wasteland. A mysterious stranger entices the Fluzzles to leave Machu Popyu and use their magical, shape morphing to resurrect the long dormant, Great Buhmba, and rejuvenate the lands, thus defeating the Mokes. The game features hand drawn cutscenes that guide the player through the game.

The game began development in September 2010 as a simple update of the original flash game. As the game was being developed, the developer decided it may be best to make a sequel to the game and focused on creating an entirely different experience. The game was finished in December 2010, but due to some hiccups, it did not see a final release until February 2011.

The game received a 9 from The Gaming Liberty who said that it is "a fantastic little title that offers so much for such a small entry price. Sure, it's the tried and tested Tetris formula but that doesn't hamper proceedings. It's as playable here as it ever has been, all enclosed in the beautiful and creative world crafted for it. MBA is the first must have Mini for 2011.

". ie went on to give the game 95% and said "Overall the game is top notch, it is perfect for the Mini's market the story mode gives Mad Blocker Alpha that extra edge it needs to set it apart from your conventional stacking games and the art style and music really round off an excellent game and one of the best game available in PSP Minis series."
