Title: Bloxter
Platform: Windows and Mac OS X
Release Date: May 7th 2004
Developer: Norbyte
Your job as a bloxter, is to manage a block reactor and produce as much energy as possible. You may encounter alien life-forms (called vaders). Some of these vaders are evil, while others will help you. Bloxter is a fun arcade puzzle game, that uses the latest technology to produce stunning 3D graphics.
The logic and rules are similar to other "falling blocks" games like Tetris (from The Tetris Company) and Columns (from Sega). Even if you've never played any of those games, Bloxter is very easy to learn. Drop colored blocks and try to form lines that will react and disappear!
Bloxter consists of 30 different boards to play, with smooth 3D animations and endless replayability. It also features an import-export highscores function, which lets you swap highscores with your friends. When importing, Bloxter merges the highscores together, keeping the best ones.
