Toon Blast

Toon Blast is a blast puzzle game, which works a little differently from a match-3 swap game. Instead of swapping pieces, you tap a group of two or more cubes of the same colour to pop them. Bigger groups make better boosters — rockets, bombs and disco balls — and combining those boosters clears huge parts of the board at once. It is simple to learn in seconds, but choosing the right group to tap first takes practice.

You join a cartoon world starring Cooper Cat, Wally Wolf and Bruno Bear, who travel through magical worlds as you complete levels and unlock new episodes. Each level has its own objectives and obstacles, from balloons and crates to other blockers that need several hits to clear. Stars earned by finishing levels unlock rewards, and the difficulty climbs gradually, with later levels asking you to plan your boosters rather than just tap the biggest group you see.

Teams add a social side. You can create or join a team, compete with other teams, and receive lives from teammates when you run out, which keeps a hard level from stopping your session entirely. Progress can also sync between phone and tablet, so you can switch devices without losing your place.

Toon Blast is free to play, with optional purchases. It suits players who enjoy quick, colourful puzzles that can be played in short bursts, and anyone who prefers tapping groups to swapping tiles. If you like puzzle games with a cartoon cast, cheerful effects and a steady stream of new levels, this is a bright and easy choice.
