Ice, Ice Baby!
In April we’re releasing our cute new character…PENGUIN, complete with magician’s outfit!
Can you pull off a trick with this magical guy and beat your rival? Or will you choose our other bungee bouncers this month, Monkey and Rabbit? We’ll also be sliding in with the new ICE BLOCK! This slippery barrier turns gameplay on its head, preventing colour matching. Put blocks nearby to crack the ice, then shove and throw to smash through!
Play modes on offer over our April playtest:
Story
Take your chosen character on an adventure in the introductory chapters of our solo / co-op campaign.
Battle
A new challenger has been added to Battle Mode! - Battle against pro-blockbuster ToppleBot X in the Digital Zone...
Party Mix
Want to play by your own rules? Make them up in Party Mix, 1v1 or play with up to 3 friends.
Challenge Mode
Head to the top of our Hall of Fame leaderboard by smashing your way through our Challenge mode. Will you be as cool as ice? Or melt under the pressure?
