Physi Bricks is my first Windows Phone 7 game. This is a game in which the objective is to knock the green blocks off the screen with different types of ammo. The ammo types include Explosion, Implosion, Magentic, Distintigrator, and Inverse Gravity.
Check out the walkthrough videos for the game.
Muy bueno
Awesome game! Would love to see a version of it for Win7 on the PC.
Fun and addictive. Wish it had more levels
Well done you must continue making games
Thanks for the complement! I really enjoyed creating this game! And have found it very rewarding to see so many people enjoy playing it. It has been my lifelong dream to do this, and I will definitely continue making more games in the future.
Like when in the future
Well, there are a few things I would like to get done before I move onto the next game.
First, I want to get a Level Editor out for Physi Bricks. I have an enormous number of requests for more levels. A Level Editor would allow the community to create and share levels.
Second, I want to see if I can use a framework like ExEn or MonoGame to put Physi Bricks on Android and iOS.
I hope to have the Level Editor to a state where I can deploy it in January. I expect I will spend the month after that making fixes, tweaks and improvements to it. I don’t expect to spend more than a month trying to get it on Android. If that goes well, I will work to put it on iOS. After that, I will make another game.
Please do! I have an android but have played on my friend’s phone… I want this game very bad!
I am very close to releasing on iOS, Android, and Facebook. I’m working out some final bugs at the moment. As soon as those are taken care of, I will be releasing it to all of these platforms. Hopefully, I’ll be able to submit it to the various app stores within the next 2 weeks.
We both love your game ..you did a good job keep it up don’t stop keep the spark kicking and the gamers going…
Great job…. 5$tars thanks for keeping it free, fun maybe we could see a second title…. Or second part
My favorite game on wp7 bring on more levels!!
Loved the game (keyword “loved”). Need more levels! I replaced my smoking habit with free video games and can’t get enough. I’m now saving both my money and lungs AND I don’t have to work fast-food any more. I’ve played (and conquered) most games and Physi-bricks is definitely my favorite. I’m living in my mom’s basement and when she yells down at me to go get a job, I yell back, “I’m working on something important!” Thank you Physibricks!
Might I suggest a level editor, and maybe a brick and ball creator too ^^
All suggestions are welcome.
You read my mind. I am currently working on a Level Editor. I hope to have it out next month sometime. It will allow you to place everything you have seen in the levels so far.
I’m not sure I understand your suggestion about a brick and ball creator. In the new level editor, you will be able to place bricks and pick which balls can be used in the level. Is there something more you are looking for here?
Great game! Any hints for level 116?
1 magnet ball and 1 small stone ball. Good luck!
Any time frame for android??? Played it on a friends windows phone and love it….
At this time, I am working to finish the Level Editor for WP7. I hope to have it out by the end of this month. After that I will either work on the Android port, or I will work on a new WP7 game.
I know there are a lot of great games on the Android. I’m glad to hear that you own an Android and would be interested in playing the game on the Android. That gives me hope that the game could be a success in the Android Marketplace.
It was awesome. Tanks for creating such a fascinating game. But may i have a suggestion, which is please make it a littel bit harder.
Funny Game. Luke it. Thank you!
I love the game! Fun and addictive! Thanks!
Hi,
Please write me to my email (mercedes@inner-active.com) so I can send you more information on how to monetize your free apps.

Love the game. So much fun. Just finished creating by first level. However I can’t set the number of points for 1,2,3 hearts. The green grabber control on the slider is stuck above the PLAY button and it is not grabbable/draggable. so hearts are stuck at 1 and I can’t figure out how to change it. Any help? A suggestion- the slider mostly works, but a nice option would be to enable entering numeric value’s for each property.
You must play through your level to set the 3 heart score. You will notice that as you play the level, the high score will update in the bottom right hand corner. Then you can return to the edit screen and change the 2 and 1 heart scores. It doesn’t let you change the 3 heart score right now, and it has a graphical glitch where it shows the green horizontal bar behind the play button.
Also, I should warn you that if you make any other changes to the level, your high score and 3/2/1 heart scores will be reset. So, I would recommend getting the level just the way you want it, playing through it to set the 3 heart score, and then uploading it.
Level 174 is impossible to complete with 3 stars, you essentially have 115 points worth of leeway to get 3 stars and if you disintegrate two of the pillars you only have 55 points to spend (not even enough for two explosive balls) . Also there is no level walk through.
This is my only non 3 star level and I want that 100% completion. This is easily the best free WP7 game on the market and I enjoyed every second playing it!
Your right, Level 174 is crazy hard!
The trick is to shoot the disintegrator ball onto the top most brick of the level. With the right shot, the disintegrator ball can then roll over the top of the red blocks disintegrating each one as it goes. If you get the shot just right, you can get all 3 red blocks with a single disintegrator ball. If not, you can still use a second disintegrator ball and still get 3 hearts.
I play community levels, but a course which right now called follow the arrow, I just can not manage, I can not really even know where I shoot from. Does anyone know what to do?
The shooting area is very small and behind the green heart block in the top right hand corner of the screen. I may go ahead and remove this level from the community area, because it is probably going to stump a lot of people.
I absolutely LOVE this game, and I particularly enjoy the creativity of some of the community levels. That being said, if a community level consists of nothing but infinitely spawning explosive blocks, balloon blocks, near-impossible challenges or a bunch of random arrows and junk, I’m giving it one star.
Please do give it 1 star. In the beginning I was approving almost anything. Now, I’m trying to be a bit more restrictive on what is approved.
Love the game, one complaint that im not sure you can help…..some created levels seem unbeatable which is fine because they are all interesting but one particular level is nothing but a blank screen.
Which level is a blank screen?
Jared, amazing game!! It is addictive and fun – the community idea is awesome – I am genuinely surprised that this is your first game – experienced gaming studios can’t do any better in most of the areas than you did with your first game – kudos to you.
Now, I played this game on my friend’s windows phone – Its gotten to me so much, that I wouldn’t let him take his phone home :-)… You seriously, should port this to the android marketplace (coz I own an android phone) – as soon as possible – People are going to love it..
Amazing game. Loved every second spent. now playing nibbler..pl.get your game on android and blackberry..keep it up..cheers::-)
Do you have metrics available to see if there are any labels that no one has been able to complete?
Currently, there are 2 levels that no one has got the 3 Heart score on. They are “mandara” by “dead-your-sights” and “Fun times” by “Timmy”. I’ll take a look at these.
Is there a specific level you are having trouble with?
Looks like “Fun times” was unbeatable, because I accidentally messed up its 3 heart score. I just corrected that. I haven’t touched “mandara” though, and am looking into it right now.
You know, I really need to record the user playing these levels, so they can play back a recording, and so others could see how to achieve the 3 heart score. Another item to work on someday. 🙂
Ok, mandara is fixed now. Now there aren’t any levels that someone hasn’t got a 3 heart score on.
That would be awesome. This is such a great game. There seem to be about 40 levels that I can’t even get one heart in. But I’m having fun trying. I think for some, like zamp’s, that my graphics processor isn’t good enough for because they are kinda “catchy”
what a cool game there are just a hand full of levels that i am not able to beat but the chalange is great…
was thinking you may want to add a “floating” ball this ball will float when hitting somthing. just a thought…
dont like the Nibbler will not miss it at all if you remove it..
ok one more idea for you top rated games from community will be levels 251-280. and one can have more then one level ( except AH GROUP 😉 )
There should be a custom level maker for nibbler
Yea, I agree. I haven’t gotten around to that yet. 🙂
Love this game, however, today I get notified of an update and it says: This app is designed for a newer version of Windows Phone. I have the Mango Update (but nothing after that, since Sprint is slacking).
Hi Tim, I upgraded the app to Windows Phone 7.5, because I understood that Microsoft was blocking all app downloads on Windows 7.0. I tested this on a device and found it to be true.
Having said that, you mentioned you have the mango update, which is Windows Phone 7.5. I’m confused as to why you would be getting an error saying you can’t get the update. Are you able to download other Windows Phone 7.5 games? (“Premium Pool” requires Windows 7.5)
Btw… I would totally pay to have this game ad free. =D
I love this game! I stumbled upon it some long time ago while trying to find a good, addictive game in the Free section of the Microsoft marketplace and I am so glad I tried out your game.
I look forward to seeing future updates! And best of luck with your future games.
Jared – Just wanted to say thanks for your excellent games. I love both physi bricks and physi nibbler and have spent way too many hours playing them. I appreciate the time you have put into it. The community levels are fun but your levels are always great. It looks like I am done for a while though because physi nibbler is 3-starred out for me 🙂 and I am stuck on 325 on physi bricks.
Thanks Michael, I’m glad you have enjoyed both games.
For level 325, you must use a Slippery Ball, Anti Gravity Ball, and Disintegrator Ball. Hope that helps.
I will be releasing more levels for both games, but at the moment am focusing on a major release (Facebook integration, Replays, Leaderboards, iOS, Android, and Facebook Desktop). I hope you will hang around for it. 🙂
Awesome game… I’ve gone through all program levels twice now (replaced the phone and had to start over). I’m 9% through the community levels (and have a few community levels I can’t figure out).
I’m glad you have enjoyed the game! Sorry to hear you lost your scores when switching phones. That is something I am working on right now. Actually, I’m working on a lot of big features for the game. Such as: iOS version, Android version, Facebook version, Facebook integration, Replays (I record how you beat the level and let others see your recording), Leaderboards, Saving all Scores/Replays on server, Syncing Scores/Replays between devices (So you don’t lose your scores in the future). The Leaderboards, Scores, and Replays will be cross platform, so you will be able to see scores/replays from players on other devices. So, if you were wondering why I hadn’t released a level pack recently, this is why. As soon as this is out, I’ll get back to the regular level packs. 🙂
I hope to have all that ready in the next few weeks. I hope you stick around to check it out.
I’ve only 5 Community levels left. I can’t find a way to get three stars on the last few. **must complete all**
Which 5 levels do you have left?
on these levels i can’t get the last heart:
grab and swing (by physis-warrior)
Circus (by Hardest level)
mag (by theman96)
rollercoaster (by rollercoaster)
Carduus L1 (by Carduus)
Finally got carduus L1.
if anyone can finish these other four, please advice
Is it possible to make a level editor and test new levels in windows 7 then upload to the community. This ability would greatly increase new level creation speed.
I plan to release the game on iOS, Android, and Facebook desktop. Facebook desktop would allow you to play the game within Facebook on a PC/Mac. I hope to release to these platforms within the next couple of weeks.
Aarrgg, the game just crashed. I lost the progress on the levels. From 4500 completed levels, i’m back to 1500.
Not happy 🙁 🙁
What are your plans with the upcoming multiplatform release with the storage of progress?
I’ll play the levels again, no problem, but i hope that with multiplatform it will be stored securely off-device.
Love playing the game. Thanks jared !!
I submitted the latest version of Physi Bricks to the Windows Phone Store last Thursday. Provided it passes, they say it takes 4-5 business days. We will see if that is accurate.
The new version will have a lot of new features. Provided you are willing to login using your facebook account, it will then store all of your Normal Level and Community Level scores on the server. Also, I have added replays to the game. This means that anytime you achieve a high score on a level, a replay of you beating the level is also saved on the server. You or others can watch the replay.
I may have a number of your community level scores already saved on the old server. Would you open the game and use the “Feedback” button to send me an email, letting me know you lost your community scores on your phone? If you could do this before you get the updated version of the game, this would be really helpful. Hopefully, then I will be able to move your “lost” community scores over to the new server after you get the update.
Help!
Just pressed update on windows phone. Asked me to log on to Facebook.
I did so now all my scores have been wiped.
I was 90% complete on the game and had done all the community levels with 35 remaining without hearts and 156 incomplete.
Is there any way I can retrieve my level scores?
Try clicking on the Settings button in the Top right of the Title Screen. Then click on “Logout”, then click on “Login”. After logging in it should say something like “You have 2 Higher Scores on the Local Profile. Add those Scores to your Facebook Profile?”. When it says this, click the “Yes” button. Then all of your scores and local levels should be back.
Rob, you are lucky. You got your scores back. I had 4 levels remaining and went back to 30%. after connecting to Facebook gave me another 3% extra back, but i’m still crapped. A whole year of gaming gone. Jared tries , but i’m redoing all the levels….
I’ll get above your scores eventually…..
What name will you show up as on the leader board?
I was top for a while.
I am being beaten by Alexander Noteboom every day. Every time I improve my score he is one step ahead of me.
My community levels say I am 9% complete but when I scroll down they are all done, apart from the 30 or so I have remaining.
Do you get more points the higher your score or is it a set amount for every level, e.g. 10 points for 1 heart, 20 for 2 hearts for example. Any assistance I could get in conquering ‘alexander the great’ would be most helpful.
;-);-);-)
rob,
i’m that guy who is beating you all the time 🙂
(Realdaxen is an anagram for Alexander)
My percentage is also off. there is something wrong in that calculation, but it doesn’t affect your score.
It seems to me that the facebook score is not based on the hearts, but on the points you get on each level. For every 10 points, you gain 1 in the facebook score.
So just try to do each level better, even if you already have three hearts. It will keep you busy 🙂
Aaarghhh… What have you done? This was my go to game whenever I had downtime (which happens a lot in my job).
But now since it has updated I can’t play the community levels unless I first log into facebook… But what if I don’t want all my friends to know how much of my life I waste playing this annoyingly addictive (and very good IMHO) game?
Is someone working on the community levels or is their server down? I haven’t been able to access them for a couple days now.
The community levels should be working again.
Hi there,
I’ m not be able to play community levels (CL’ s) via my windows phone.
I’ ve completed 10 % of all CL’ s, and every time when i’ m trying to start playing those levels, the phone syncing my scores with the server, but after this the level list is empty. This started in last sunday.
I’ve logged in to Facebook on my phone, and I also tried to play those levels via computer in Facebook, but there the situation was the same. Only difference was, that when I logged to Facebook with computer, and tried to play CL’ s, my completing level was 0%.
Have You got other similar messages, and do You have any solution to fix this problem?
The problem should be fixed now.
Hi there,
there seems to be same problem again, can’t play CL’ s via
Facebook nor Windows Phone.
