Unblock Me Free

Reading Time: < 1 minute

This game is as simple as it gets.  Simply slide blocks up, down, left and right to reveal a path for the highlighted red block to make it through the hole and off the screen.  This free version has two modes, Relax and Challenge.  The only difference between the two modes are whether or not it records how many moves it took you to finish the level.  A good addition to this would be to have a timed mode.  This app originally started out with 400 levels but later added 200 more as a thank you and sorry for having bugs in an update.  I must say, with this many levels I thought there would be more alike and feel like im playing the same level over and over again but this is not the case.  Each level is a challenge.  One tip for the harder levels is to move the blocks into a position which makes it harder, only to have the ability to move other blocks out of the way for the win.  Overall a good free app that last longer than 15 minutes like most other free versions.

  1. Hi Jeff,

    as a developer, it is always refreshing to read honest and sincere reviews. I enjoyed your ‘to the point’ description and the matching screenshots.

    We are a small team here at FingerArts and are about to release our first game to the App Store. It would be great if you could take the time to review it as well. What would be your preferred procedure for us to get the game to you.

    In the meantime we subscribed to your mailing.

    Again, many thanks!
    Isabella

  2. Isabella,

    Thanks for leaving a comment. I would definitely like to review your App for you if you’d like. I tried going to your website for some contact information but couldn’t find any so I hope you look back to see this. Please contact me for more information at [email protected]. Thanks!!

  3. Unblock Me just had an update that says they added 200 more levels. Seems to me though that they took away 200 levels. Upon closer look, it is just a re-organization of levels. There now are two different difficulties, Beginner and Intermediate. 200 of the original levels plus 200 more make up the Intermediate category. Graphics are a little upgraded as well. Looks like they are making this even more like a real app instead of a free teaser app.
