Blocky Roads' mountainous backdrops and cuboid clouds have the rugged charm of Minecraft, while its bouncy, physics-based driving recalls Trials Evolution, although nothing explodes when you drive past it. Winning races lets you progress and unlock outfits for your driver, along with the usual suite of performance enhancements that make your car faster, better at going up hills and less likely to flip over during one of your many airborne moments. You can also design your own vehicles if you feel like it, though the benefits of doing so are purely aesthetic and you'll soon discover just how hard it is to invent a car that doesn't look like the work of a pre-schooler. Progress through the game's levels and challenge stages is gently engaging and the quick fire upgrades take care of any tricky moments.
