So I finally registered to write reviews for a few games I like... (^ ^)

Blow is totally one of the best games on Xbox Indie Games!

I can absolutely recommend that you try it. The art style is really great. And the game play is so very relaxed and unhurried. But still the puzzles of the later levels are difficult enough that it takes some time to solve them.

I love fiddling with the fan settings to find if I can not solve a level with less fans. Or better placed fans.

The downside: Whenever my husband plays, I always sit there and try to tell him how to place and direct the fans. So he sends me away to do something else *lol*.

This game should have been on XBLA, it's that good, with loads of content and very clever puzzles. Even though I suck at it, YOU should give it a try.

This is a nice little version of that warioware game where you need to keep the plain up. Except with a little more depth and a hundred times prettier.

Their are enough levels to keep you occupied for a few hours at least depending on how easy you find the basic mechanic.

Like the title suggests, everything about this game is nice and comfortable and it's a nice bit of fun. Perhaps would have been better on the DS but that is obviously a lot harder to develop a game on.

The main thing I hold against it (perhaps unfairly) is that it has been done plenty of times before in flash so perhaps 400 points was a little expensive. It is however better constructed and more fun than the majority of it's flash counterparts so I still rate it as a good game.

Blow is an amazing experience. This game has great production value, from the artwork, to a soundtrack that relaxes and calms you. Then there is the great gameplay.

The fan "budget" mechanic is what makes the game challenging and enjoyable, despite lacking the puzzle game staples of scores and time limits.

By removing these pressures, Blow becomes more about thinking than the fast paced, twitch-action "puzzle" games that have become the standard.

My only complaint is that the game isn't burn-in friendly. The border artwork is bright, with lots of high contrast edges that will cause burn-in on certain types of TV screens if you play long enough. It would be nice if the gameplay screen could be expanded to full screen size, and eschew the beautiful border art.

 

One of the best CC Games out

An awesome example of what every Community Game should aspire to.

The gameplay is fresh and interesting, varied, and encourages thinking. The art style is awesome, and the overall presentation is stellar.

 

Lots of fun levels

Blow is a lot of fun. The levels get progressively harder at a good rate, but even when I'm stuck it is hard to get frustrated because the game is so mellow. The music is great and the puzzles are hard but not impossible. Great game.

 

Polished, and soothing

About 20 hours of gameplay with the two modes and quite a few levels on each. Good choice of soundtrack as well.

 

Buy this game!

This is, in my opinion, the best game currently available on the Community Games service. The graphics are beautiful, and the soundtrack is great. I've had great fun with this game, and I recommend this game highly to anyone who likes puzzle games.

This is one of the games where you have to play around with it a little before it really displays its true quality. But after then it will provide many hours of entertainment.
