Review summary

Oldschool Blocks delivers a fun, nostalgic brick-breaker experience with a large, long-lasting level set and simple controls. Players appreciate the retro vibe and progress-saving feature. Common drawbacks focus on intrusive ads and screen-size visibility issues on some devices, plus a sense of stalled progression due to recycled or hard-to-reach high levels.

2026-01-23	My*****	Dear Piotr Makowski, I Love Seeing You Rep And Control IQ, Specifically Strategic, Gifting the Community Of Oldschool Blocks, You’re Repp.’n IN THE MEDIA, Your Powerful Vision of Old-School Rewinds Is IDEAL, I just Have One Suggestion. But Before I Do, ( One Of The Reasons I Created This Review, Is Because You Haven’t Made A Update In— Who Knows How Many Yrs Will It Take For You To Return😩, ( Those Word Search Game Engines Are Getting On My Nerves,) when you get a “1 extra ball power-up,” it should be yellow, just like the picture, and when you get 2 extra balls, they should be red and blue, again, just like the icon, but the only problem is, whenever you play a level, why you start with only one heart? why not 2? I mean, there’s a space for one more heart, it’s not like it’s an extra😒. I Have Another Suggestion, You Know How In Your Description, You Know That It Says, “Join millions of players all over the world!?” Well, The Problem Is That It’s A Single-Player Game☺️. SOO, In The Starting Menu Of The Game, You Should Add A Option Called “Duel Mode,” And Every Month, There Should Be A Champion Ship—HEY, YOU SHOULD ADD A SETTINGS BUTTON TO THE GAME, And..You know what would make it cool, bro💪🙂‍↔️? When We Play Oldschool Games, We All Know And Love Palm-Held Gameboys, SO, In The Settings, There Should Be A Option Called “Gameboy Mode.” The Gameplay Is Exactly the Same, BUT, It’s Framed As A Screen In A Baby Blue, Game Boy Controller With Playable Multi-Color Buttons, You Have To Use The Controls Of The Buttons To Play. The Screen, OF THE GAMEBOY, Shouldn’t Be Too Small, Instead Of The Screen Being A Square, It Should Be A Rectangle, That way, It Can Fit The Height And Width—OF..The Original Screen, speaking of which, now focusing on YOUR* idea, this is the main reason I like the game, it’s rebirthing the idea AND VISUAL* of Retro Tennis, the visual is 2 lines, a border, and a ball Like An Average School Breakfast, if you’re an adult, There’s A Highly Likely Chance YOU LOVE Old-School games, but though.. You Despise The Lack Of Creativity ( Game Design ): adding blocks as the target is a standard upgrade, but it’s still bland, SO you take out one player, put the main player on the bottom, make the block(s) colorful, An extra S because you know why😏, just in case you don’t, you don’t add just one block, that’s dull, add some more to the party! lastly😮‍💨, you add power-ups Just Like An Average Video Game, (😙Ready For Response😙)Your Visual Is Powerful🫡; ( This “etc” Is ACTUALLY, An Extra Note☺️📝,) KJFLADS’ Idea Of Emptying The Game Over Face Might Not Look Like It Would Do Any Good. It’s Not As Cheesy As It Looking, All Though It’s Pretty 14 Yrs Ago🙄. The Idea Of Giving Them One More Life “In Hope” If They Manage To Complete A Side-Quest “Mini-Game” Might Sound Cheap, But In Your Case, You Noticed That You Can’t Proceed The Level If You Can’t Complete The Side-Quest Mini-Game, And Mini Does Not Mean Indie, Because Mini-Games Are Just As Hard As Video Games, Wether It’s Old-School, OR HIGH DEFINITION. That’s How Creative You Are, And That’s Why I Support It.

2025-08-02	Pa*****	I love this game but it has a few tweaks that need to be made one it’s stupid but the screen is to big for my phone so I can’t see all the blocks so that kinda takes a star of and another star is the instant death drops are two common and it’s really annoying because the game is just like chance because of how common the death drops are one last thing is you need to get three stars in each level but sometimes you get the star on the very last block so this makes it seriously impossible for you to get all three stars so you have to do it again but don’t get me wrong. This game is really fun. It’s easy and has tons of levels not to mention the sound effects are really soothing obviously the developer doesn’t really care about these reviews because there’s been tons of complaints about the screen being too big and it’s never changed

2024-09-13	Sj*****	I am notorious for downloading games, playing a day or 2 and then deleting because the ads are so invasive or the side quests/story lines are so annoying. I love this game because I can just simply play for as short as a minute or two or longer. I like that it saves my progress. I’m on level 115. It reminds me a bit of an old game on Commodore 64 called Krakout. Definitely will be keeping this one.

2024-05-13	‰D*****	I already accidentally cancelled my review a couple times so I’ll make it short So, this game is AMAZING and I have massive respect, I hate that modern mobile devs are just grinding out terrible and greedy games so seeing an honest game by good people makes me happy. So first off, if the last block has a star you can’t get it, so I say stars should appear every 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4 of blocks destroyed, if 1/4 of blocks is 4.25 then the 5th block has a star and if it’s 6 then the 6th block. Make them override power ups to avoid confusion. Also, It would help a ton if the position of the paddle that balls hit affected the angle they move. If they hit the middle they go straight up, far left they go 35-45 degrees up and to the left, (amount is your choice) same with the far right, and then calculate everywhere inbetween. There are many instances that the ball bounces like the dvd logo between corners for a while before finally hitting a block, and it would also just add more complexity and skill ceiling. This one is my top priority. Some minor ones would be giving momentum to scrolling, to make it faster and smoother. The main menu should let you go to level select. The gun power up is unable to stack with itself. And making sure the blocks are even with the grid, because apparently they aren’t. I’ve noticed that there’s some randomness to how the ball angles off of blocks, if you start a level and the ball goes left, then starting the level again with it still going left could give it a different trajectory. This could be due to the unevenness in blocks. I do have to say something about the graphics and especially the power up graphics, but I can’t say about how to improve it. Other reviews seem to talk about ads making sound when the game is muted and also about a bug that frames the game bigger than the screen but I haven’t tested or experienced these.
