Review – “Annihilation meets strategy in BoxBattle for iOS!”
Strategy is an interesting genre in the gaming world. Just when you think everything’s been tried to come across yet another unique idea, and BoxBattle is no exception! The basic idea behind BoxBattle is that you have to destroy all of the green boxes and avoid the red ones by shooting at them with a cannon. This may sound a little mundane, but there’s a lot more strategy to it than you might think!
When I started playing this game I just jumped right in. In hindsight, it would have been a much better idea to read the instructions first. The game itself is pretty simple, but there are a few nuances that you might miss if you choose not to read them. You can read them by touching the “Help” button from the main menu.
Once you’re ready to jump in just touch the “play” button and then start a “new game.” The main game screen has your cannon on either the left or right side of 
the screen with a bunch of blocks that are placed on platforms in the middle. In the lower right corner of the screen is a button that brings up a menu with a variety of different cannon balls to choose from.
In order to complete a level you have to score over 100 points. You will gain points for each green block you take out, 
but you will lose points for taking out red blocks. You also lose points with every shot you take. Choosing more powerful cannon balls will make you lose more points, but will possibly help you to finish in fewer shots!
The first few levels were pretty easy, but the difficulty advanced very quickly! I was able to finish all of the levels that are available for free in about 30 minutes of play. If you want to continue on, there are over 130 levels available through in-app purchases, and the level packs are just $0.99 each!
The first time you open up BoxBattle you’ll be asked to login to your OpenFeint account. This adds even 
more replay value to the game by adding things like achievements and the ability to compare your performance with your
friends, and other people around the world!
You’ll find another nice feature of this app in the “options” menu. You can control the sound effects and music volume individually. You can also choose to turn the vibrate feature on or off as well.
All things considered, this game a great concept that is somewhat unique, and very addicting. If you are a fan of the puzzle genre, and you like to blow things up, this app will be a great combination for you. So what are you waiting for? If you’re still reading this, why not head to the App Store and check out this app for free today!
