Starting point is 00:00:03 Getting into Grandma's favorite, I mean, getting into one of the most popular mobile games on planet Earth, we have to put respect on Blockblast. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? As when it comes to mobile gaming reviews, you already know, we have a plethora over at Notorious Mass Effect. But as far as Block Blast specifically, we're going to get into the sales and review Roundups. because of course over here at notorious mass effect we have to get into the games that notoriously impact the masses now with that being said the main thing i was going to get into especially with block blast if you don't know the core game is basically a block slash jigsaw type puzzle and you place and stack blocks to form combos and maximize scores so no it's not tetris i know what y'all

Starting point is 00:00:58 thinking hold up now we got a lawsuit on our hands ladies and gentlemen when it comes the block blast it's a little different because of course when it comes to the overall gameplay loop and of course a lot of people enjoying this on their cellular devices this game specifically came out april 3rd 2022 y'all want to know what tetras was released actually let's look that up tetris release date tetras came out in 1985 safe to say that block blast is a little bit modern, a little more modern than Tetris, but we still put in respect on Tetris name. I'm just letting y'all know what is the most popular block slash jigsaw style puzzle in today's gaming economy.

Starting point is 00:01:47 So with that being said, the main thing we got to get into before the reviews is definitely the crazy amount of engagement this mobile game has been garnering from 593 million plus global downloads to date to 220 million downloads in the first six months of 2025 which made it the number one most downloaded mobile game in that period and then of course can't forget the 135 million generated in the last 30 days so when it comes to that the player base is definitely a humongous fan for block blast as the overall player bases or had a peak of 14 million according to the daily active users and when it comes to the retention 28% of retention at day 60 significantly higher than the average mobile game so when it comes to the release timeline obviously already said it came out April 3rd

Starting point is 00:02:59 2022 but then of course it came out on the android shortly after as far as a google play and it's just continued to increase engagement in the player base to the point where in 2025 is one of the most popular mobile games in the world and you could probably see why as you know i have it up on the screen analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but when getting into runtime of block blast safe to say there is no run time this game is very dependent on your pace and progression right there's no traditional story there's no character roster there's no ball there's no gun it's basically you blocks and a lot of fun to be had right shepherd all right my fault so anyways so as far as getting back into this specific

Starting point is 00:03:51 game block blast and definitely being one of the more record-breaking mobile puzzle games that ever hit the app store i think with this game generating over 135 million in monthly revenue and then of course all the other metrics it's definitely shaping up to have a crazy run especially when you look at this game coming out in the year of 2022 looking at it at in today's age of 2025 and seemingly it is one of the more most popular mobile games in history especially when it dominates the puzzle charts like it is currently. I mean, Tetris, somebody got to tell them to fight back. Now, that's all right.

Starting point is 00:04:37 Or somebody need to tell them that's all right, as far as them not going at Blockblast as far as beefing. Because, you know, as far as mobile puzzle games, I wonder what type of Drake and Kendrick beef the developers of these mobile puzzle games have going on behind the scenes. So, you know, besides the relaxing gameplay and things of that nature, now let's switch from sales

Starting point is 00:04:58 to get into some of the review roundups of this specific game as there's been a plethora in all high praise and they hold this game in high regards as far as the mobile gaming community as the u.s app store gave it a four point it has a four point eight rating out of five and they say quote addictive relaxing and perfect for quick brain breaks offline play is a huge huge plus but one of the critiques is the ads interrupt too often now when it comes to the google play story because you know we can't leave our do do do do you know how i mean however that go well you know the phone that y'all be using that be making that sound even when you put it on silent but that's a whole other discussion google play store they gave this game a 4.7 out of five saying

Starting point is 00:05:52 great puzzle logic and combo system but and once again this is a real real occurring theme the ads pop up mid move hold up now you're telling me I'm trying to clear all the blocks in the game and the ad going to pop up in the middle of me playing the game you guys see that's the problem anyways tap tap they gave this game a 4.7 at a 5 basically saying it's relaxing offline puzzles and they do know that it's no ads in certain modes but you know as is another nitpick a slight critique, but then they finish off by saying you can also have unlimited fun because of the friends feature as far as being able to have high scores amongst your friends and it boosts the competitive nature as far as a puzzle mobile gamers out there. So the main thing

Starting point is 00:06:50 I was wanting to get across, you know, besides me putting a misrespect on the mobile gaming community because who's really out here giving deep dives into mobile puzzle games? Like, come on now. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? Another thing as far as the specific reviews, Google Play Guide gave it a 9 out of 10, which is the highest score as far as all the reviews I could find. And this is the highest score. And they basically say excellent for logic and spatial skills. Is how you say spatial?

Starting point is 00:07:22 Let me see, spatial how to pronounce. I think it's like tomato, tomato, but you never know. let's see let's see what driver says I think I think we found it I don't know but then nope no it is you know what spatial oh it is spatial okay so we technically got it right um when it comes to the spatial skills is excellent well the uh Google play guide is saying this game is excellent for logic and spatial skills and then of course they say the weekly challenges keep in engaging and at the end of day you all know or have played a mobile puzzle game at some point and you kind of realize
