    StarBlox Inc. goes for a mix between puzzler and brawler that while not entirely unprecedented, is certainly welcome in the Nintendo Switch, where puzzle games had been going through a period of stagnation. While its audiovisual environment isn't the most stimulating, the game is very fun and involving and its multiplayer component adds an additional layer of enjoyment to the experience.

    StarBlox Inc. is a fun and unique little experiment of a game, let down only by the results of that experiment that don’t quite come together. At the same time. the sheer satisfaction that comes from victory helps overcome some of the fundamental flaws in the concept and the net result is an original, if convoluted, puzzle-fighter. Ultimately, this is a still an enjoyable title that gets a qualified recommendation.

    StarBlox Inc. is a perfectly enjoyable action puzzler that manages to balance reflex-based gameplay with on-the-fly puzzle solving. The core gameplay loop doesn't have much in the way of depth, but it's easy to pick up, and fun to play, especially in groups of four. Unfortunately, no online means that StarBlox has no real shelf life in spite of a surprisingly decent single player campaign. If nothing else, this makes for a decent couch multiplayer alternative to Puyo Puyo and Tetris.

    Starblox Inc. offers a unique couch co-op puzzle-brawler experience that, unless your friends are extremely passive, won’t work that well for you. This is largely due to its unpolished controls and hit-or-miss accuracy issues.

    Ingenium invited me to be part of the advisor board for this game.
    The game controls very well once you get the hang of it (doesn't take long,    Ingenium invited me to be part of the advisor board for this game.
    The game controls very well once you get the hang of it (doesn't take long, maybe a few minutes). Your screen can get kind of busy, so it can be difficult to keep track of everything sometimes. But this game is extremely fun when you play with friends! The music is very exciting and really adds to the fun of couch gaming with friends.

    The sarcastic narrator/announcer is a very nice touch.    … Full Review »
