When you first hear about it, Blueprint 3D doesn’t sound like it could be a compelling iOS puzzle game – but it is.
The premise couldn’t be simpler. Each level shows you the blueprint image of an object, exploded in 3D so that the object itself isn’t immediately obvious. Your task is to move the exploded view around until its identity is revealed. That’s it.
Many of the puzzles take moments to solve, just a couple of seconds. So you might find yourself whizzing through the levels at a furious pace. Very often, you can see the solution almost instantly, and the game becomes a test of your manual dexterity more than anything else. The faster you can get it right, the more points you get.
Despite the simplicity of the challenge, this is a game with that just-one-more-go factor. As each new blueprint appears before you, your eyes are scanning it for recognizable features – anything that will help you find the solution. Five seconds later, you’ll be on to the next one.
The game comes with 240 levels in seven categories (architecture, electronics, military, space and so on). Don’t spend your dollar (for that’s what this game costs) and expect hours of entertainment, because it just won’t last that long. You’ll get minutes, not hours. It’s nicely done, though, from the detail in the blueprints to the sound effects.
But if you’re the kind of gamer who loves to play games at those random short moments during the day when you just have a couple of minutes to kill, Blueprint 3D is the perfect idle-moment filler.
