How to put a new spin on the venerable 'match three coloured blocks to make them disappear' puzzle genre? Gameloft thinks it has the answer by mixing in music-rhythm elements, and a tune from Bloc Party.

Rock 'n' Blocks is the game, and it sees you matching blocks before they clog up the screen, triggering guitar riffs as you play. The game uses the rhythm of Bloc Party's Banquet song.

There'll be ten game modes to play, incorporating traditional puzzle levels and more arcade-based challenges. There's also a Story mode, which sees you on a rock tour, unlocking various items along the way.

Meanwhile, three difficulty levels should ensure the game satisfies everyone from puzzle newbies through to hardcore bloc(k) breakers.

It certainly sounds like an innovative take on a tried-and-trusted mobile genre, so click 'Track It'! to be kept in touch when we review it.
