DESCRIPTION

Like a jury-rigged mix of R-Type and Katamari Damacy, Blast Works is a side-scrolling shooter that aspires to be greater than the sum of its parts. Players control a small ship that can attach itself to the enemy ships it destroys. Enemy ships attached to the outer hull act as breakaway armor to the player's vessel, and they also add their firepower, shooting at whatever angle they happened to face when they were attached to the primary ship. Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy comes with level-design editing tools and a ship creator. Internet-connected gamers can trade their custom ships and levels with other players through the WiiConnect24 system. Blast Works is based on the Windows freeware game Tumiki Fighters by Aba Games. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Shortly after beating the game, I went ahead and finished Campaign 3 on Pilot difficulty, unlocking Torus Trooper for play. The emulated games seem to run pretty smoothly on the Wii, which surprised...”

“Didn't do so well with Rachel in Arcade Mode. I was doing just fine right up until the battle with Hakumen. I kept accidentally triggering Barrier Burst at the wrong times.”

“Apparently, you CAN have too many power-ups at once. Playing through Campaign 4 on Rookie level, I got about 100 or so pieces attached to my ship, and I think that may have sprung a memory leak....”
