Review:

Brick Shooter is a new take on traditional puzzle games. The best comparison would be to a turn based tetris on multiple axes. Unfortunatly in this case it's not a good thing.

The game throws you straight into the mix with little fanfare and explanation. The premise is to line up 3 like colored squares in the center of the grid to make the preset tiles disappear. This is accomplished by using the tiles surrounding them.

Unfortunatly the game doesn't mention many fine details until you stumble across them or search through the help file. For instance, that the bricks don't have to be in a straight row. It's also accompanied by music that you'll quickly find yourself muting.

It's not all bad though, as it does allow for some customization, such as changing the amount of colors that the bricks appear in, timing, and various difficulty options. The interface, while simple, is easily understandable, and includes undo option to take back mistakes and the ability to save your game.

Everything considered, it's a game that a person could definetly enjoy if they are willing to spend some time with. Ultimitly though, for the price tag, this is definetly a pass.
