Dundee based games developer Denki, self described as a 'digital toy factory', will be making its first steps onto the iPhone with Denki Blocks!, a refined version of the company's breakout Gameboy Advance hit.
While the Scottish developer had been caught up in the world of interactive television games, it's come back into the traditional game world, with a focus is on digital distribution.
"Hello, and welcome to The 3DS Tribe’s weekly feature – where we look back at a past title from one of the many retro handheld systems out there, and attempt to discuss what made it so great, as well as if there’s any chance that the game will be revived on 3DS’s eShop.
This week we take a look at Denki Blocks for the Gameboy Advance", which also landed on iPhone, iPad and PSP/PS3 Minis…
Touch Arcade:
The concept in Denki Blocks! is simple: join all the like-colored blocks together each level. The solution is far less straightforward however, requiring you to navigate the blocks around each level– easily done by the tap of a finger in any direction– in an attempt to force them together. All the blocks on-screen move in the same direction simultaneously unless they are blocked by a wall or obstacle, a mechanism that is paramount to get them to meet.
Square-Go writes: "The best puzzle games tend to be so simple that you are amazed no-one had thought of them before and you are maybe just a little annoyed that you did not think of it yourself. Denki Blocks gives you just one goal, push all the coloured blocks together, but from that basis they have built a wonderfully deep game".
