Score! Classic Goals ($0.99 → Free, 34.3 MB): Recreate the most amazing goals from the last four decades in this unique line-drawing soccer game.

Before you start removing blue blocks, you'll want to consider what will happen when you do. If a red block falls too far, it will break. If it falls off of the platform, well, you don't even want to know what happens then. The game includes three level packs, more than 100 block towers modeled after real towers, multitouch controls, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

The game includes four boards, multiple difficulty levels, chiptunes, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Blowup!! is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 643 ratings.
