  As it stands, Gematombe feels like a middle-ground arcade puzzler, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. The colorful aesthetic imbues the game with a cheerful atmosphere, and the gameplay takes a while to get used to, but once it clicks, Gematombe is good, if a bit light on content.

  Overall, Gematombe is a fun, if simple, block-breaking action game. The graphics are cute and colorful, and the silly story is amusing. There are a few modes to incentivize replay, however, they still rely on the same block-breaking mechanic, leading to tedium. I appreciate what the developers have done here, and I hope they continue to breathe life into the game via DLC or other updates.

  Gematombe is a new twist on the traditional brick-breaking game where you are bouncing a ball on a paddle to take out blocks. I never found it to be addictive like other puzzle games, and I don’t think it has much replayability.

  Ultimately, Gematombe launches a decent arcade puzzle concept onto the market but then misfires in various ways. At its core, the brick breaker gameplay is exciting, with the Arcade mode proving to be the centerpiece. Beyond that though, the shortcomings of the mechanics, the lack of online leaderboards – at the very least – and the unbalanced AI, make it a tough sell.
