Toon Blast Review: Tap to Blast, Not Swap to Match

Tapping Groups Changes the Whole Puzzle

There is no swapping. Any two adjacent cubes of the same colour can be cleared with a tap, and larger groups produce rockets, bombs and discs that clear rows or wide areas. Because you are choosing which group to remove rather than hunting for a legal move, the decision is about what the board collapses into afterwards — clearing a big pink block first may strand the yellows you needed. Goals are printed at the top with a move counter, and a level with fifty-two of one colour to remove in twenty-six moves is a planning exercise, not a search.

Characters, Towers and Team Play

A cast of cartoon animals fronts the levels and unlocks as you go, each with a signature booster, and a tournament tower runs alongside the campaign with score thresholds at each floor — 6,570 to reach one level, 10,000 for the next. Teams pool progress and swap lives. It is the standard live-service scaffolding, executed brightly enough that the bear in a superhero cape is genuinely funny rather than merely present, which matters more than it should in a genre where every game looks alike.

Adverts, Coins and 515.7 MB

Google Play carries an advertising badge alongside in-app purchases, against 100 million installs and 4.6 stars from 4.64 million reviews; Apple shows 4.7 from 2.8 million ratings and rates it 4+ with advertising, chat and user-generated content listed. Purchases are coin packs from $1.99 to $7.99 and bundles between $4.99 and $19.99, spent on lives and boosters. The install is 515.7 MB — heavy for coloured cubes, and heavier than either of the big renovation match-threes in this catalogue. Both store averages sit within a tenth of each other, which for a free game with adverts on both platforms is unusually consistent.
