Bloxland Story release date for Linux, Mac and PC
Bitbox Games has announced that Bloxland Story will release soon for Windows Phone, PC, Mac, and Linux. The game was previously released on Android devices via the Google Play Store and for iOS devices this summer.
From the Press Release Bitbox Games, Spanish based video game publisher, is proud to announce a new release for this summer: Bloxland Story. Developed by “Talaiot Studio”, it will be first released in Google Play Store and iTunes for smartphones/tablets during summer 2014. Subsequently, Windows Phone, PC, Mac and Linux versions of the game are scheduled for a later release.
Bloxland Story features puzzle mechanics combined with frantic action where strategy plays an important role. Main game basic consists in matching 3 or more blocks of the same color in order to increase the Block Counter and/or completing any other objectives of a particular stage. Speed play will help increasing the “Chain Bar” and therefore the score multiplier. At the same time new blocks are persistently falling from the top. If a column is full when a new block should fall on it, the Game is over.
The game features a singular art style. Firstly, thanks to its 16-bit pixel inspired look, flavored by dozens of references to classic video game culture. Secondly, the charisma of its main character. And finally, an OST created with catchy synthesized melodies beautified by the funny game sound effects.
Story mode with 40 levels spread across 5 world zones with primary objectives and bonuses for completing various secondary goals.
Special gameplay mechanics in each zone that will test your mental agility.
Reward system with medals that unlock new gameplay modes such as “Survival” and “Time Attack”.
Upload scores to the cloud for each mode.
Share your scores on Facebook and Twitter.
A gameplay system inspired by classics of the genre, while still being unlike anything you’ve seen so far! Guaranteed!
Forget about paying for rewards or the typical micro-transactions typical of this type of game. The full version gives you access to absolutely all content, but you can also try the free limited version before deciding to buy the game.
Bloxland Story aims to carry nostalgic players back to the Golden Age of Video Game while letting new generations feel a true classic experience.
