AstroPop Deluxe 1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

If you think most puzzle games are too slow for you, AstroPop Deluxe will change your mind. You'll likely figure out how the game works almost immediately. The goal is to match bricks with other like-colored bricks to destroy them. However, the wall of bricks steadily advances upon you, so you must use both your reflexes and your mind. Once you've earned enough points, you'll have access to the Supa Weapon, which lets you demolish many bricks at once, regardless of color. You'll also occasionally get the chance to hurl special bricks that will clear many rows at once. You can play in both Regular and Survival modes. The regular mode will let you unlock extra characters once you've accrued enough points but is pretty simple on its earlier levels. On the other hand, the survival game provides an immediate challenge and isn't at all easy to master. The modern, sophisticated graphics impressed us, and we liked hearing the female voice comment on our achievements. If other puzzle games have lost the ability to entertain you, we think AstroPop Deluxe will provide a welcome challenge.
