Gameplay
Gameplay
In most levels, players must hit all 25 orange pegs to beat the current level. However, some levels require the player to drop gems, hatch eggs or perform certain Style Shots in order to progress. Two power ups are provided that are unique to each character. Another different mechanic in Blast is that it uses a level system as well as a life system. If a player fails to beat the game, they lose a life and have to retry the level. Players who lose all five lives must wait until the lives are regenerated. Blast also introduces power ups for purchase which can be used in-game, such as the Super Guide power up. The game also introduces a lot of obstacles such as fireballs, pegs covered in mud and frozen pegs. Other game modes include hatching phoenix eggs or dropping diamonds to the bottom of the board. Players can connect to Facebook within the game to gain an extra life, send extra lives to friends and see friends within the world map. Achievements can be earned in-game by connecting to Google Play Games on Android or Game Center on iOS.
