Overview:

WACKY BLOCKS is a fast-paced game that challenges you to remove all of the blocks from the screen. You do this by clicking on groups of two or more similar blocks. Beat the required score and you'll progress to the next level. Don't... and you're a gonner. There are two modes of play: TIMED and STRATEGY. In the Timed mode, you start out with a small 5x5 grid and only 4 different types of blocks, but each round gets progressively harder as the grid gets taller and wider, and more block types are added. The pace is fast and you have to think quick. Every 5 rounds is WACKY TIME!, which is a bonus round. On this round, you get points for keeping the screen from filling up as blocks drop from the top. In Strategy mode, there is no time limit, and the screen is large (14x9), but the required score to advance to the next level is higher. In either game, clearing most of the blocks from the screen gives you a bonus.WACKY BLOCKS has many exciting features that will play tricks with your head, including gravity that changes direction (blocks 'fall' up, to the right or to the left), and special blocks (Shuffles, Random Shuffles, Wilds and Bombs). The shareware version allows up you to play up to the 15th level on the Timed mode and the 2nd level in Strategy mode. After that, you must purchase the registered version to progress to the higher levels.
