It's been some years since the original Red Remover hit mobile, and the series' scowling red blocks still haven't found anything to smile about.

That's why Red Remover Blast by The Game Homepage sets you up with a very important task: get rid of those red party-poopers before they kill everyone's buzz.

If you've played Red Remover, then you already have an idea of how to lighten the mood around block central. If you haven't played Red Remover, no worries: it's easy to get the hang of destroying those gloomy reds.

Ready steady


Nothing phases greenie

Each stage presents a host of red blocks that must be gotten rid of. By tapping the screen, you set off a charge that pushes loose blocks around. Once the reds fall into oblivion, the stage is won. Don't feel bad about getting rid of the buggers: they always seem pretty happy to drop off the earth.

But succeeding at Red Remover Blast isn't as simple as pushing around red blocks. Green blocks, for instance, must remain on the screen at all times. If they fall into oblivion, you fail the stage.

There's also the issue of dark red blocks. They can't be budged by explosions (they're too cool). They must be disposed of in another manner that usually involves having a greenie push them off the ledge. Needless to say, it can be challenging to send the reds to their doom while keeping the greens on a steady surface.

Fun with explosives
Didn't need that arm anyway

Fans of Red Remover will enjoy Red Remover Blast. It changes up the old formula by having you blast blocks around instead of removing platforms. Gravity also plays a huge role in Red Remover Blast's puzzles, which adds an additional layer of challenge. Finishing the stage is one thing - finishing it within par is another.

Red Remover Blast may stump you at points - a hint mode that offers clues beyond the level titles wouldn't be the worst idea. Taken as a whole, however, it's an accessible and friendly game - even if those frowny red faces decorating some of the blocks tell another story.
