Critical reception
[edit]Piyo Blocks
[edit]Gamezebo gave it 4/5 stars, writing "There’s a lot of life in Piyo Blocks’ graphics and gameplay—enough to give you pause if you're looking for a distraction. This is a game that demands your full attention."[1] SlideToPlay rated it 3 out of 4, writing "For those who are not yet burned out from the Match-3 genre, Piyo Blocks is a polished gem for the $0.99. The lack of online leaderboards does hurt its value, however, so some may want to fly, fly away."[2] Creative applications said "Adopting wonderful pixel art style graphics with subtle but very effective animations and although quite similar to Bejeweled, it nevertheless feels like a new experience. In other words if you are fan and love pixel art, it’s the one for you."[3]
Piyo Blocks 2
[edit]Piyo Blocks 2 has a rating of 90% on Metacritic based on 4 critic reviews.[4]
SlideToPlay said "Piyo Blocks 2 adds more content and an excellent multiplayer mode, propelling it far past its predecessor and many of its competitors."[5] AppSafari said " Usually match-3 games inspire about as much excitement in me as using a can opener, but I was utterly delighted and hooked by Piyo Blocks 2. Get this game. I mean it. It's even on sale right now for a mere $0.99, so go and get it already! "[6] 148Apps wrote " With very rich, vibrant colors and some solid match 3 game play, Piyo Blocks 2 is a great game for anyone looking for a challenge. "[7] PocketGamerUK said "In a genre as packed to the gills as the match-three puzzler, Piyo Blocks 2 stands out by doing the simple things extraordinarily well."[8]
