Blast Miner, the explosive puzzle-action game from newcomer Cryptic Sea and winner of the IGF GameTap Indie Award, is a beautiful yet harrowing two-headed beast. Erupting with originality, Blast dances a delicate line between the traditional game-play of Tetris and an atomic rush of its own design. Unfortunately, at times the dance might well be performed by a tutu-wearing elephant: Blast's pervasively awkward control sported by its Action mode is likely to detonate your temper and threaten to send your keyboard rocketing through your monitor.
