EA plotting Lego Escape for mobile phones

You could call this one Tower Brixx if you're feeling cheeky

We love Digital Chocolate's Tower Bloxx as much as the next man, and more so since we discovered the excellent Facebook application version.

But if there's one area that game's lacking, it's flying robots. Maybe they'll land in the sequel.

However, in the meantime EA Mobile is looking to fill that 'block-building-puzzler-with-robots' hole in our affections with its new game Lego Escape, which is the first time the publisher has got its hands on the Lego brand on mobile.

It went on sale this weekend, and sees you racing against the clock to help rescue a trapped Lego man by building a big tower of Lego bricks which are falling from the sky.

This is where those flying robots come in, trying to stop you by moving bricks and letting loose with electrical charges. There are four themed environments in the game, as well as power-ups to collect that help your building skills (for example, jumping boots).

It certainly looks nice, but can it be as addictive as Tower Bloxx? Click 'Track It!' to find out when we review it.
