And no mid game ad in sight.

I started the Childhood block! This block contains a collection of games I remember playing fondly from my childhood. For the first game of the block, I checked out Glass Tower 3!

I remember playing this game on my old Kindle Fire of all devices. Yeah I wasn't good enough to get an iPad so I had a Kindle Fire. Of course I never used it for reading. But more entertainment such as YouTube videos and video games. And this was one of them. The game was simple. You have a tower of glass blocks. Some blue, some red. Each block in different shapes. The objective is so break all the blue blocks and don't break any red blocks or let any red blocks fall off screen.

As you play each level, each blue block you break has a chance of giving you a power up. Whether it was a magnet that would suck all blocks to the center. Or each blue block giving you double points. Or extra lives. Or shuffling the colors. Or making blocks rain... don't get that power up.

I easily blasted my way through the first few levels. Carefully strategizing which blocks I should break at what time so no red blocks fall. Level 11 added green mystery blocks that would turn blue or red when you tapped them. And steel blocks which were chained together and unbreakable. But still had physics. Along with... I guess I'll call them package blocks. Since when you tap those... it would reveal multiple blocks of varying colors. In level 13, I had a really close call with a red triangle block that NEARLY fell but was held on to enough by an L block. I mean seriously that triangle block was literally hanging on the edge.

I think level 22 is where things got challenging. As there was this long red piece on the edge you had to somehow avoid dropping it in the pit. And it seemed like no matter which blocks I broke, that long red piece would at some point drop. and even if it didn't, another red block would drop. It wasn't until a later attempt where I got a color shuffle power up that the long red block turned into a blue one and I could safely break it along with the others and beat the level. Sometimes you need to rely on power ups to help you.

From there on, the rest of the levels I played were pretty easy. Until level 44. This one was a doozy. With so many single tile blocks and just how high the structure was overall. I tried to be careful. Breaking blocks one by one. Especially on the bottom. But it was just so darn easy to let a red block fall. Just so many red blocks put in very awkward spots where it seemed like they were just destined to fall. This level definitely took me the longest time to finish. After a while, I finally had a late stage magnet and I quickly busted each blue block and finally beat the level. Thankfully each red block stayed up. That was a good place to end the stream right there.

Overall... this was a nice game to return back to. As I said it had been a long time since I played this and it brought back a lot of memories playing Glass Tower 3!... or... was it Glass Tower World I remembered playing?... aw crap...
