    Not only Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint is one of the most original, clever and downright entertaining puzzle games on the App Store, it's also one of the best examples on how free-to-play gaming should be done.

    Magnetic Billiards packs an original gameplay concept, tweaked to near-perfection, and steeped in character. This is what indie gaming should be.

    Magnetic Billiards' free-to-play model is pretty much perfect.

    One of the smartest games I've played on iOS, and it demands a kind of precision and planning that other games just don't have. The game works well no matter which platform it's played on, but iPad owners will definitely want to check this out on the larger screen.

    Generous, polished and charmingly eccentric, Magnetic Billiards proves the benefits of deliberation - though if this is indicative of the quality the Pickfords can bring to iOS, here's hoping their next isn't quite so long in the making.

    As a puzzle formula, it's incredibly simple but alarmingly addictive once you get going.

    A fun psychedelic diversion that works well as a casual game for shorter moments. Trying to play longer sessions is taxing because of the randomness of awesome to poor shots, and the weak level progression.

    The main game strikes enough of a balance between accessibility and challenge that it'll likely keep you shooting away the hours without you noticing them pass. [Issue#113, p.114]

    Fantastic game. Have been playing this non-stop since it came out on my iTouch and have to say the attention to detail in terms of theFantastic game. Have been playing this non-stop since it came out on my iTouch and have to say the attention to detail in terms of the design, sound and progression is just stellar. Exactly what I'd expect from a Pickford Bros production

    The core mechanic did take me a few minutes to get used to (it felt a tad counter intuitive to try and do something in 'more' shots) but once it 'clicked' I was totally hooked and soon bought the unlocks for the Pro tables.

    Best part is as its a free-to-play game you have absolutely nothing to lose by trying it out! Hopefully at some point this will make its way over to Android and I can get a fix on my phone too! ;)    … Full Review »
