Superblox is a puzzle game made by Casual Friday Games.
This game is extremely easy to pick up and within minutes of your first try, you'll be hooked and playing like a pro.
There are three modes you can play from:
1) Sudden Death
2) Beat the Clock
3) NY minutes
The game is hooked up with Feint so all of your actions are logged on their leader board and achievement boards.

Controls:

This game is controlled by tilt. When the game starts counting down to start, it calibrates the required tilt so each time you play, no matter what angle you're at, you'll feel right at home. As an added bonus, if you decide to move while in a game, you can pause, and recalibrate to adjust to your new position.

Audio:
The audio was done right in this game. So many times you find a game where the audio is terrible and you want to turn it off, but can't, or you have to navigate through a plethora of menus to find it; not in this game. The controls are 1 click away from the home menu and can also be adjusted from the pause menu in game play. You can change the music volume as well as the FX volume and even adjust your speed calibration so you can be more accurate while playing.

Graphics and Gameplay:

The graphics look just as sharp as any other game and the simplistic design really help push along that puzzle feel. Nothing is too haughty or hard to see and all factors seem really thought out and put together. You start out as a small multicolored block. During game play, you have bring blocks together to make a 2x2 super block. There are 6 different characters although each block has to be cohesive. You run around collecting upgrades and powerups while avoiding spiked monsters. The monsters will adjust themselves to make a straight line to your character and you can get rid of them by forcing them to run into an adjacent block. With all of the power-ups, this game is set up for high scores, which makes you feel good even when you lose.

Bugs:
While still only on the third update, I haven't found any bugs yet and at a 50% off introductory price, this game is a no brainer to buy.
Conclusion and score:
There's a lot of app in this little game and it's surely able to produce hours of fun and exciting game play. I give this game 5/5 because there's not one time playing that I've said to myself "this game could really use..." This app has it all and its friendly for all ages. I'd buy this game and not even think twice about it.
