Gameplay

Block Block has two modes. One mode which plays through all 50 levels, and a beginner mode which only carries a selection of levels suitable for the novice. In the normal mode, the player is allowed to choose their starting level. Unlike some brick busting clones, this one introduces a twist on gameplay. You must use your playing skills to keep the size of the paddle in a playable state. If the paddle counter reaches zero, the paddle shrinks.

Reception

Ryan Davis of GameSpot noted that the game is "playable if derivative", but the replacement of the paddle with conventional controls made the PlayStation Portable version a dismal experience.[3]
