I admit it...I'm a sucker for affordable PC games like Bricks of Egypt. I have Blaster Ball 1, Blaster Ball Remix, and Blaster Ball Holidays from Wild Games. I've also played Blaster Ball 3. After awhile, though, those games get boring.
When I saw Bricks of Egypt, which is similiar to the Blaster Ball games, I was thrilled! There are quite a few types of bricks and other goodies tucked in every level. And, when the ball hits the various bricks, the sounds vary. For example, a large brick may take 3-4 hits before it disintegrates. An Egyptian tablet sounds a bit like broken glass when hit. There are smaller bricks which are taken out with one shot, as well as square grid-like blocks filled with buckshot-like balls.
Plus, there are cool things tucked among the brick walls. For example, if you "free" up a gem or trinket, you get extra points if you catch it. When there are "fire" bricks, hitting a water symbol will spray water from above to extinguish some of the flaming bricks. (You don't want to let the fire bricks hit the bottom! Otherwise, you lose a life.)
Like Blaster Ball, there are extras that may rain upon you: you can grow bigger (but unlike Blaster Ball, you get enlage more than once!), smaller, becoming "sticky", and get lasers to shoot the bricks. But watch out...because there are skull and crossbones (which will kill you if you "catch" it), minimizers, and floating "eyes".
These eyes can work to your advantage, because they serve as a pinball-like effect--where the ball bounces off of them and throughout the other areas. However, if the bricks happen to start low, too many eyes cause the ball to bounce right back to you--which could cause you to lose a life if you don't catch the ball in time.
There are also bombs among the bricks; by detonating them, you detonate a whole area of wall. A very cool element is the key squares. Some levels have "metal" decorative blocks that can NOT be penetrated. However, if your ball hits one of the keys at top, the blocks disappear! You can get a lot done when those metal blocks disappear, but you may forget that your ball will now glide through the board unimpeded!
If you enjoy games like Blaster Ball, you will LOVE Bricks of Egypt. The first menu provides four separate levels (1-8). You can go onto the next level when you complete all 8 boards BUT the next level has 16 boards! (Needless to say, I haven't made it past the first four boards yet!) Well worth the affordable price--and much more fun than Blaster Ball!
