In a world of free to play block breakers, Holedown is a premium slice of excitement. Not only is it much better than all of the ad-and-IAP supported games that look a bit like it, it's better than most of the other arcade puzzle games you're going to find out there.
There are plenty of twists here - from rounded corners on the blocks, to pieces that stay in place even if you smash everything around them. Throw in a cheeky sense of humour and a compulsion loop that's tight and elegant, and you're left with something pretty special.
When we reviewed the game our reviewer said "Holedown is a sweet and satisfying game of shattering blocks. It's like a casual game for grown-ups and people with attention spans, and I'd definitely suggest you go and check it out." The game got a Silver Award, and if you click here you can read our review in its entirety.
