Blow it Up brings the Angry Birds-like genre roaring into the late 2020s, coming soon to mobile

• Blow It Up is a newly-released, physics-based puzzler
• Similar to Angry Birds you blast apart structures filled with enemies
• But now you’ll be able to enjoy gorgeous voxel-based graphics and particle effects

I think it’s undeniable that Angry Birds is one of the most important mobile games of all time. Whether that’s in its gameplay innovations or in the business success that it brought Finland and developer Rovio, Angry Birds is a landmark for a reason. Little surprise then we’ve seen successors and imitators, but today’s topic Blow It Up may be what takes this sub-genre(?) to the next level.

On the surface, Blow It Up is very much what you’d expect from a release emulating the aforementioned Angry Birds. You launch small figures and hit a larger structure full of enemies (helpfully colour-coded a snotty green) to bring them crashing to the ground. Certain figures have distinct abilities that let you bring even ******* and more complex structures down too.

So, what makes Blow It Up stand out? Well, a glance at the trailer should tell you, but in effect, this is very much Angry Birds with a healthy dose of glorious particle effects. If there’s one criticism you could levy on Rovio’s long-running series it’s that it has hardly kept up with the increased appetite we all have for mayhem.

Blown away

Blow It Up is arriving on consoles and PC today, but happily, I can also confirm that there’s a mobile version set to arrive sometime soon. I’d hazard a guess it’d be sometime this year, and by the looks of it, we’ll hopefully have a well-optimised port to deal with all the massive falling structures and scattered blocks in this blow-em-up puzzler.

In the meantime though if you’re looking for for ways to keep up with intriguing new releases without checking in on the news every day, why not dig into our regular feature Off the AppStore that shows you new games that you can only find on alternative storefronts or as downloadable APKs.
