Brilliant Blocks is a puzzle/matching game written in flash. The goal of the game is to either make a match of three or more of the same number or same color. There are blocks on the screen and each block has a number on it and is a certain color.

Players need to match the numbers or the colors. Each time a number or color is matched the matched blocks disappear. Players have to make all of the blocks disappear below a white line on the board. The challenge is matching the blocks by color or number and getting them to drop below the white line before time runs out. Each time you complete a level, time is added to the clock. The catch is, each level less and less time is added to the clock. It becomes harder and harder to match enough blocks to get the blocks to drop below the white line. Not to mention each level the blocks get higher and higher.

Players make the matches by clicking the mouse, which causes the block to fall down in the path highlighted. The blocks fall at the users discretion, but players still have to keep in mind the clock is ticking down. The block starts at the top of the screen and the path is highlighted. Players click the mouse over the the column they want the block to fall down into.

Brilliant Blocks is a fun and challenging game. Initially, I thought it was going to be easier because players could match colors or numbers, but that makes the game more difficult. Matching either color or number can make it hard to plan if the player swaps back and forth. Players have to take their time and strategize, but can’t take too much time or the clock runs out and the game is over. The game offers fun challenge and great game play and you can’t beat the free price tag.
