BlockOn is a new platformer by cactus. The aim of the game is to beat the stages by collecting the red balls, which will open the door leading to the next stage.
The gameplay is unique, with the game just giving you the position of the red balls and the door. Before the level starts, you are asked to place the platform where you will be standing. You have to make the levels yourself. After you have set all the platforms, you press space and see how the game places all the enemies and traps by itself. Its a very unique style. Although sometimes unfair, since it may place 2 enemies in a tiny space. And the game has a tendency to make spikes just below the red balls. You can still collect the red orbs, but it can be a pain.
You can sometimes make judgement errors, and set platforms too high to reach, to fix that you have to restart the level and alter the placement of the platforms.
Overall, the game is great and unique. Although a bit short.
