IGN writes: "So, you've played enough Tetris to last a lifetime and if you have to match three more gems, you are going to scream. Might I suggest Denki Blocks, an inventive little puzzler that was a gas on the Game Boy Advance several years ago and remains a great puzzle play?"
"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.

Denki Blocks gives you just one goal, push all the coloured blocks together, but from that basis they have built a wonderfully deep game".
