Gameplay

In most levels, players must hit all 25 orange pegs to beat the current level. However, some levels require the player to drop gems, hatch eggs or perform certain Style Shots in order to progress. Two power ups are provided that are unique to each character. Another different mechanic in Blast is that it uses a level system as well as a life system.

If a player fails to beat the game, they lose a life and have to retry the level. Players who lose all five lives must wait until the lives are regenerated. Blast also introduces power ups for purchase which can be used in-game, such as the Super Guide power up. The game also introduces a lot of obstacles such as fireballs, pegs covered in mud and frozen pegs.

Reception

In general, the iOS version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Gamezebo's critic, Nadia Oxford, praised the graphics of the game, but disapproved of in-app purchasing, writing "EA has us pegged for suckers". The Destructoid critic, Chris Carter, criticized the game's micro transactions, comparing it to Candy Crush.
