When it became apparent that the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii was a runaway success, the system began attracting developers that had never before thought to develop a video game. One of those developers was Creator/StevenSpielberg who wanted to create a unique game that specifically made use of the Wii's motion controls and was easy to pick up and play. Enter ''Boom Blox'', a physics-based action puzzle game.

Enter ''Boom Blox'', a physics-based action puzzle game.
In ''Boom Blox'', each level consists of a different block structure. The player must either manipulate a different object and throw it at the blocks to knock them down, or remove the blocks one-by-one without disturbing the structure in the same gameplay style as ''Jenga''. Later levels introduce new tactics for beating levels such as avoiding destruction of negative point blocks or setting up chain reactions.
The game features two main modes. Adventure and Explore Modes are the single-player mode with the Adventure mode featuring four small stories and Explore mode being more open-world. The game also features a level creator to allow the player to build their own levels.
