Line Blaster, a remake of the 2012 Drawtopia, launches for iOS today

In 2012, a smaller indie puzzle game released to a relatively small but very positive reception, called Drawtopia. Now, in 2022, that same puzzler has been remade and released under a new title, Line Blaster. This neon-soaked physics puzzler seeks to be a complex but relaxing experience, hoping to give you a good way to kill some time while also keeping your brain engaged with its mechanics.

When I say remake, I do not mean a simple re-release with some updated graphics or audio. No, Line Blaster has instead been completely rebuilt from the ground up with a slick new style, and while the Drawtopia basis is there, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s an entirely new game altogether with how different they look. Now, Line Blaster looks akin to Shatterbrain or Atomas in terms of visual style.

As for gameplay, most levels will see you drawing lines for a ball to follow, fall upon, or be caught by, all in an effort to reach the goal of the level. Of course, it’s not quite that simple, and oftentimes stages will present hazardous areas the ball cannot fall to, otherwise, you’ll fail that level. It’s a very simple premise and it remains that way, only about drawing those lines, but the fun comes in trying to navigate around the obstacles placed on the way.

And, given Line Blaster will launch with over 100 levels, there’s plenty of content here to keep you busy. Fans of puzzle games that don’t demand all that much of you but still do plenty to make sure your brain is getting a bit of a workout will enjoy Line Blaster immensely.

If you’re one of those people, you can find Line Blaster on the App Store for the low, low price of completely free, so get out there and make those brain cells work.
