Voltage features a 7×7 game board lined on the sides with oppositely charged electrodes that must be connected to complete a circuit (and remove the included blocks from the board). The challenge is created by the different types of blocks that can form various connections (e.g. up-down, left-right, turns). In true Tetris fashion, blocks can be moved left/right and then sent downward to the position you desire. In addition to different connection types, pay attention to certain blocks that rotate as they’re moved left/right as well as others that cannot be moved at all.

This Android game features three different gameplay types; block limit, time limit, and unlimited (all of which are relatively straightforward). Block limit requires more calculated moves with a focus on planning future circuits while time limit tests your quick thinking and snap-decision making skills. With OpenFeint integration, you can compete against all other Android users for the highest scores in all of the different modes.

Hint: always pay attention to the block that is coming up next as it will likely influence where you play the current block.

Pros:

• Simple, familiar gameplay with a challenging twist
• Success requires logic, planning, and strategy
• Multiple modes to master
• OpenFeint integration, global scores

Areas for improvement:

• Purpose and function of special power-ups need better explanation and more obvious icons

Conclusion: The Voltage Android game features Tetris-like gameplay where you must clear the board by moving/rotating blocks to create a circuit.
