Description
BrickShooter is based on a fresh, original idea. Its simple rules create a great variety of different game situations, much like chess. The game proved suitable for people of all ages; good for children in developing their creative thinking processes, useful for grown-ups to play during lunch times and perfect for seniors to relax yet keep their minds sharp.
“It's a game where the rules are simple so anyone can play it, but getting a high score takes a lot of thought. I’ve been playing it for over two years without any loss of interest because I keep realizing new strategies that push my scores higher,” says one player, which nicely sums up the comments from hundreds of others.
What's New In Version 1.1

+ Ability to toggle dimming of the queued bricks

Customer Reviews
A fun, satisfying game
Brickshooter is one of my favorite casual games--I love that I can take my time with this puzzle, and it's a very satisfying time-filler. This iPhone version is very nearly as good as the desktop app, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
I do have a wish list for the next update:
* It would be great to have a way to save my own scores (without having to be online)
* I'd like to be able to see the second and third row of bricks (off the board) more clearly--perhaps dispense with the shadow on them? It makes it harder to see the colors
* I'd love a way to turn off the "shaking" when bricks are cleared
However, this game is a great deal of fun and WELL worth the low purchase price!
Disappointing at best
As a regular and top-10 rated player of the browser version of Brickshooter, this is a bit of a joke.
The Bad:
The use of screen real estate is terrible making the bricks hard to select.
The bricks in the queue are dimmed making it almost impossible to plan ahead.
You can't use the database of games you already have. This is starting all over from scratch. It can take months to get to the top
It is missing the 6 color and 9 color games (what is up with that)
There is no way to load and save games (your current game is saved between launches however)
The Good:
The play is smooth.
The point score is displayed when you clear a set a blocks
You can turn off the sound
If you paid for the Mac or PC game $30, then paid for the online game $20/year, and then paid for this $4, you are out a pretty fair chunk of change and you can't share your scores (that make sense between the Mac/PC game and the browser game, but not the browser and the iPhone game)
Not recommended in the current form
It's ok, but...
Ok so, having waited for the native program and being an avid online player, this version is ok, but..
1. unlike the online version ou can't click he blocks fast enough to clear two in the same demolision if they're back to back.
2. the top rated thing doesn't seem to update properly
3. the 2nd and 3rd row of blocks are dimmed to the point that you can't always tell what is coming next, which can REALLY mess you up.
4. with all that screen the menu and undo buttons are too large and the blocks themselves too small- I've hit both buttons while trying to select blocks and often have to undo a "misfire"
Update these things and this WILL get 5 stars from me!!
