Washed Up! Reviews

This is a really nice casual puzzle game that's perfect for losing yourself into for a while. Gameplay is sort of Tetris-ish but from different directions - it seems nice and easy at first but once you play for a while and the board starts filling up it gets quite hectic trying to figure out just what you're going to do with all the pieces! There are some nice extra things to keep it interesting like bonus scores and power-ups to help you out, like a cannon that blasts away the pieces. If I was going to suggest any improvements for a sequel or future version, I'd say it might be better broken up into shorter bursts, levels, so that game mechanics could be introduced step by step (one per level or something like that) rather than all at once. It's a bit of an information overload doing the tutorial, but easier to get when you actually start playing. I also feel like the collision between the pieces isn't needed and just adds unnecessary extra difficulty. That said, I like it, it's addictive - I'm def. coming back to play more - and something different to lose yourself in. I like the whole pollution, waves, beach vibe too, I think they fit with the game perfectly and it's a nice theme to play with. So far, I've only played Classic mode, but there's also time attack and free play modes as well as adjustable game speed ranging from Chilled to Insane. I'm barely good enough at it to feel like I should be in chilled mode, so I don't think I'd last more than a few seconds in 'insane'. I never was very good at packing!
