Our verdict: BoulderBlast blends a clean vertical shooter with light number logic. The rising pressure and simple upgrade loop make it ideal for short bursts while still rewarding focus and prioritization.
What is BoulderBlast
In BoulderBlast, take control of a powerful stationary cannon that launches projectiles straight up to destroy falling spheres marked with numbers. Each sphere represents a level of durability, and players must strategically fire to reduce the numbers and eliminate them before they reach the bottom.

Unlock upgrades, power-ups, and special effects to survive longer and achieve higher scores. It’s an exciting blend of arcade shooter and math puzzle fun, suitable for all ages and perfect for quick gaming sessions.
