Blastomancer takes you on a journey of saving a world from the Distortions as a Blastomancy student.
Audio (★★★★☆)
✔️ Engaging soundscape
Story (★★★☆☆)
✔️ Witty narrative
❌ Nothing too spectacular
Gameplay (★☆☆☆☆)
✔️ Character customisation
✔️ A variety of Bomberman-ish bombs available
❌ Mind-boggling puzzles
❌ Solving the increasingly onerous puzzles is anything but straightforward
❌ Gameplay gets old pretty quickly
❌ Watch ads for bombs that give you hints and allow you to undo a move
Graphics (★★★☆☆)
✔️ Hand-drawn 2D stickman art style
❌ Overly simple design
Verdict (★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆)
As much as the game has served as a nice distraction for a short moment, Blastomancer didn’t quite nail it. The challenge of completing each level does indeed offer a sense of accomplishment but doesn’t seem to go far, especially when I have to hurl the bombs in the right sequence. At times, the game appears as though it’s trying to be too clever for its own good.
Unless you’re in it for the love of puzzles and riddles, I’d recommend you to go for something more exciting.

Blastomancer: The Puzzle Game Review—A Perplexing Game That’s Not Worth the Candle
Reading Time: 2 mins 36 secs
As the festive season begins to draw to an end, my mum has already had her fill of my presence as she keeps hurling hints at me all day long.
Well, it so seems that I have overstayed my welcome at my parents'.
Feigning pity, I was so close to accomplishing my plan of dog-napping Axel back to mine for the sake of easing my heavy heart.
Setting my heart on perfecting my plan, I made my way back to my place by my lonesome. Under the surge of melancholy and loneliness, I immediately grab my trusty smartphone and throw myself into the gaming world to release the suppressed emotions.

Essentially, Blastomancer is a puzzle game. And he said he’s part of Game Development World Championship 2020 Official Highlights Selection. But to be honest, he didn’t impress me.
I didn’t play much, so my review maybe not be rational enough, like I always did. The game has some funny story and the puzzles are pretty good. The mechanic is kinda like Bomberman. You need to place the short-range or long-range bomb wisely to crash all boxes in the level. But I have a strange feeling, same as the feeling after l watched The Father （Anthony Hopkins is the protagonist）I know it’s good, but you just don’t like it. Not very impressive.

Blast Knights - An INTERESTING Game, That FAILED to GRAB My ATTENTION
Blast Knights is a game that at first I thought this could be pretty fun, with its bright and colourful themes and crazy main character design... I thought I could have fun in this game... However I was wrong.
Gameplay wise Blast Knights has you charging from orb to colourful orb, trying to get combos that will let you use special skills. These special skills are unlocked from the bingo skill menu. Which if you get a bingo, unlocks an extra skill. Watching ads will also let you unlock more skills. So if you want to unlock the full bingo menu, you will have to watch a few ads before you reach the last boss of the chapter. However the game design and how the gameplay works felt confusing to me, and I didn't truly enjoy my experience with it.
