Don’t miss Amazon’s free app of the day, today it is the turn of Collapse. Collapse! is a graphic-intensive, updated take on block-clearing games. The game challenges you to clear out blocks out as rapidly and accurately as you can. Embark on an epic quest to save the realm from villainous characters. Travel through five lands, earning gold stars and the coins needed to purchase crucial power-ups. Unlock secret locations for more adventure. Or to play a casual game, select Quick Game and choose from seven game modes.
The object of the game is to clear out groups of 3 or more blocks of the same color as the screen fills up with rows of blocks. When you tap a group, that group disappears and you score points. Each tap counts; if you tap any blocks that are not in a group, you lose points for accuracy. The lines of blocks will start rising with increasing speed, putting your finger-eye coordination to the test. The larger the group you clear in one tap, the more points you earn. You can see what color blocks are coming up in the next row, so there is an element of strategy to the frantic block clearing.
Collapse! throws in Special Blocks to add to the block busting brouhaha. Super Bomb removes all blocks within a radius of three blocks. Color Bomb removes all blocks of one color. Row Bomb removes an entire row. Cross Bomb removes an entire row AND an entire column. Hourglass pauses the game for 10 seconds. Scrambler reshuffles the blocks. Last but not least, the Blocker blocks blocks! You must use the Super Bomb, Row Bomb, or Cross Bomb to clear out those Blockers.
Collapse! supports wardrobe changes for your questing avatar
