And I see that update just went live! Looking forward to trying this on my iPod Touch too, even without a data sync for the game.

Everything you draw keeps moving – and watching your creations move is like watching magic. The goal is simple: shape a line that collects all colored circles avoiding black holes on its route. There are no specific moves that you need to master. To every level countless solutions exist, from delightfully simple to exceptionally deep and complex, yet always elegant. ----- Articles & Commentaries ----- "The Most Brilliant iPad Game I've Played All Year." ~ Kotaku "One of the greatest joys of Blek is experimenting with your approach." ~ WIRED "It’s the sort of game you’d want to put on a space probe: when the aliens play it, they’ll take a liking to us right away." ~ The New Yorker "Wonderful experience" ~ Pocket Gamer "Blek is a thing of elegant, intuitive beauty" ~ Edge "One of the year’s best" ~ The New York Times ----- Awards ----- • Apple Design Award • Best Mobile Game - Casual Connect, Amsterdam • Excellence in Innovation - International Mobile Gaming Awards • Best Game - Content Award Vienna" Information Seller:kunabi brother GmbH Genre:Family, Puzzle Release:Dec 03, 2013 Updated:Feb 22, 2021 Version:1.8.6 Size:195.7 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (15) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal kunabi-brother Active Member Nov 28, 2013 40 0 0 http://kunabi-brother.com #44 kunabi-brother, Jan 11, 2014 Blek Update Notice Hi everyone, Blek is a Universal App now, you can play it on your iPad and iPhone/iPod touch. We've put some work into this update and redesigned the levels (for the iPhone) to make them playable on smaller screens. Because of different level design, we decided not the sync the progress across devices. Have fun and if you have any questions, feel free to ask Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #45 Bronxsta, Jan 12, 2014 This looks so unique and cool. Buying now Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #46 Bronxsta, Jan 12, 2014 This game is a minimalist piece of art, and easily joins the ranks of Strata and Ten as my favorite minimal puzzle games. There isn't even a menu; the game opens with your first puzzle, which also acts as a simple tutorial. The art itself is merely a collection of black and colored dots on a white surface but what truly makes Blek a joy to play is the line. There is something so visually appealing and satisfying about seeing your line move so fluidly across the screen, in a way that feels unpredictable yet is completely planned Yes, Blek is not just some minimalist experiment; it's also a puzzle game. Like the best puzzle games, the core mechanic is simple to understand, but different to master. Draw a path for your line to follow, which it will repeat until it leaves the screen, touches a black circle, or a colored circle. Your goal is to collect all the colored circles in a level and the genius of Blek is the freedom you're granted to complete the task. Your solutions can be as simple or as complex as you can think of. From the simple inching line to a complex pattern that gracefully weaves between attempting-ending black spots, Blek is a rare puzzle game that presents the player with a challenging scenario and then gives you free reign to solve it how you wish. If you enjoy puzzle games that doesn't offer to hold your hand, that instead allow you to use your own intelligence and creativity to succeed, or just like games with great minimalist design and style, I highly recommend Blek sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,456 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #47 sugimulm, Jan 12, 2014 I can attest to Bronxsta, the game's presentation and gameplay is a minimalist dream. No tutorial, but easy puzzles to easy your way into the game. The game will get challenging, but not impossible. One of the few puzzle games that forces you to think outside the box to successful solve each level. Highly recommended and universal support for all your iDevices. If you are looking for a different type of puzzler, look no further, beautifully presented and challenging indeed, highly recommended. kunabi-brother Active Member Nov 28, 2013 40 0 0 http://kunabi-brother.com #48 kunabi-brother, Jan 12, 2014 @Bronxsta, @sugimulm Thank you so much. I don't know what else to say. It's a great feeling - knowing that people are playing our game and that they are having fun with it. Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #49 Bronxsta, Jan 12, 2014 Two suggestions: - for beating the game, I'd love to be rewarded with an empty space to just draw lines and patterns and not have to worry about hitting anthing. - for future levels, I could see a portal-esque mechanic fitting nicely. Up to level 27. Game is so good kunabi-brother Active Member Nov 28, 2013 40 0 0 http://kunabi-brother.com #50 kunabi-brother, Jan 12, 2014 Hey Bronxsta, "empty space to just draw lines" is something we are discussing for quite a while now, and it's very likely that it will find its way into the game soon. Concerning the portals: I really don't want to spoil anything. So let me just say that Blek may surprise you as you continue experimenting with it. sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,456 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #51 sugimulm, Jan 13, 2014 I have never loved and hated a game so much, lol. Spacial thinking required, lol. Seriously, love the challenge, one if those, " just one more time" kind of feeling keeps me coming back. Great job! PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #52 PeteOzzy, Jan 17, 2014 Have only just got round to playing this and I'm kicking myself for not having started it earlier. It's just wow, that is the only word I can think to describe it. I've played literally thousands of games and I've never played anything like this - that's something that pretty much never happens any more. It's a serene puzzle game. A toy box. A minimalist piece of art. It's a thing of absolute beauty and it deserves to be recognised as one of the best examples of an iOS game masterpiece. It's been said more eloquently by others, Bronxsta in particular, but I felt compelled to express my absolute love for the game. Seeing your "organisms" come to life and squirm across the screen is a joy; animating squiggles just to see how they manoeuvre regardless of the puzzle would have been worth the purchase. The ingenious puzzles in the mix makes this essential. I'm going to be recommending this to a lot of people! max-o Well-Known Member Dec 5, 2013 56 0 0 #53 max-o, Feb 17, 2014 just deleted this game off my ipad. it's a pity, but getting stuck on level 28 with no hint or option to skip and come back is a buzzkill. been stuck on that level for months.

I hope you add more levels because I am worried what I will do once I beat them all. Definitely the best buy I made in a long time. It would be criminal if this game does not get reviewed.

I was really happy because this game needs more exposure. Then I went to YouTube and I found out how it's getting so popular.
