Plock Description

Like the movie starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, Plock by MetroGames is all about speed. In this game of brightly colored blocks, your goal is to click on groups of two or more adjacent blocks of the same color as fast as you can. It’s a similar concept to games like Breaking Bricks and Cube Crash, but Plock adds bombs and multiplier blocks into the mix, offering chances to score mad points. To play, find a group of two or more blocks of the same-color and click on them. As they blow up, the blocks above it shift down and new blocks are added to the board, forcing different color combinations. The more blocks you break, the more energy you earn to fill your “bomb meter,” located to the right of your screen. Once that meter reaches full strength, one of several different types of bombs will appear inside a block on your puzzle board. To detonate the bomb, you must eliminate the block it is in. There are a few different types of bombs that are thrown out randomly—some eliminating the entire horizontal or vertical row upon detonation. Plock has a simple enough concept, with its one-minute rounds. It is easy to play countless games trying to beat your high score and is very addictive. My advice is to check your watch—30 minutes easily flew by for me playing the game. The overall game could use a few more bells and whistles, though. Yes, there are bombs and multipliers, but the game would be more interesting if there were ways to earn bigger and better types of bombs. Everything is pretty random, from when the bomb energy fills to what type of bomb is thrown. Plock could benefit from offering more opportunities to use real strategy to rack up points. Its simple space-themed graphics could use some improvement too, as there are minimal screen changes throughout the game.

Plock Reviews

Pros
Fast-paced, addictive gameplay. Easy concept/instructions. Under a minute gameplay adds intensity.
Cons
Fairly weak graphics. Similar concept to many other color-match games. Needs more bells and whistles to encourage continued play.

Plock Walkthrough, Tips & Cheats

Plock Walkthrough

The in-game "how to play" guide only gives you the basics, and oversimplifies the patterns. It doesn't tell you all of the tips and tricks you really need to be good at the game (but that's what this strategy guide is for!) At the beginning, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of options, where to start. Later on, it's easy to be frustrated by the lack of options. Just take it one click at a time...

Plock Tips

Time is short; make the most of it. Click fast and furiously, even if that means sometimes nothing happens when you click. However, completely aimless clicking without vision for strategy will not get you very far. Try to form a strategy as you click, but don't get too fixated; allow it to flow with the changes in the game. Also, don't stop to plan because it wastes valuable time. The game is two parts luck of how the blocks fall, one part how fast you click, and one part strategy. You must keep the big picture in mind; avoid tunnel-vision...

Plock Cheats

While multipliers are critical for a respectable score, becoming fixated on them will slow you down and do more harm than good. Besides, as long as you keep clicking, another one will come along. Sometimes what seems like a good place to click ends up ruining your plans. You will inevitably do something to completely screw up a perfectly good high scoring formation or worse, your entire strategy. Don't dwell on it, and continue on as best you can. Form a new strategy if you have to. Hindsight is 20-20...
