You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The game presents a series of [[physics]]-based puzzles, the objective being either to keep structures made of blocks from being knocked down or to knock them over by various means, using the [[Wii Remote]] to throw, shoot, and grab at the blocks. ''Boom Blox'' features a realistic [[game physics|physics]] system; the angle at which a projectile is launched and how fast it is thrown as well as the mass of the projectile and the type of blocks it comes into contact with influence the results of an action.<ref name="interview">((cite web|url=http://www.videogamer.com/wii/boom_blox/preview-909.html|title=Boom Blox Interview|last=Yin-Poole|first=Wesley|date=2008-05-02|publisher=Videogamer.com|access-date=2008-05-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515093831/http://www.videogamer.com/wii/boom_blox/preview-909.html|archive-date=2008-05-15|url-status=dead))</ref><ref name="eurogamer">((cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=139278|title=Boom Blox Review|last=Gibson|first=Ellie|date=2008-05-12|publisher=[[Eurogamer]]|access-date=2008-05-16|archive-date=2008-12-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209060350/http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=139278|url-status=dead))</ref>

There are different kinds of blocks in the game such as gem blocks, blocks with point values attached, explosive blocks that detonate on contact, vanishing blocks that disappear when struck, wood blocks, and steel blocks.<ref name="eurogamer"/> Just as the type of blocks with which the player must contend changes as the player progresses, so do the tactics for completing the level. The player might have to avoid letting blocks with negative point values attached fall while destroying blocks with positive point values attached. In another level, the player might have to set off a series of explosions and domino reactions that target a structure's weak point or ricochet shots off multiple structures in order to destroy the blocks, all with a limited number of projectiles.<ref name="ign"/> Different types of blocks possess different physical properties; their mass and the amount of friction they exert alter the way they will respond to contact.<ref name="yahoo"/>

===Adventure and Explore modes===
The Adventure and Explore modes are the single-player portion of ''Boom Blox'', constituting over 300 levels.<ref name="gamespot"/><ref name="gamespy"/> More advanced levels challenge the player with time limits or a limited number of projectiles with which to complete the levels.<ref name="wired"/> Each level also challenges the player to get a gold medal, though achieving a bronze medal is all that is required to reach the next level.<ref name="gametap"/>

Adventure mode is story-based and offers character-driven scenarios that involve defending forts or the various domino-shaped characters from enemy attacks and guiding these characters by clearing the path in front of them as they walk.<ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="1up"/> Explore mode presents puzzle-based objectives that focus on different groups of skills,<ref name="gamespy"/> allowing the player to discover the basic [[game mechanics|mechanics]] of the game.

There are four basic "worlds" through which the player must progress. The first, Gem Kingdom, which takes place in medieval times, involves the player aiding a group of sheep dressed like knights to gather gems, and then protect said gems from invaders. The second level, Gorilda Rescue, takes place in an island jungle and involves the player helping a gorilla named Gert save her children from a tribe of hostile natives called the "Tiki". The third, Boots 'n' Bandits, is set in the Old West, and involves a beaver named Boots mining for gold with the help of the player, only to have it stolen by desperadoes; he then takes the gold back and protects the citizens of the nearby mining town from the bandits. The fourth and final world, Haunted Night, takes place on Halloween and tells the story of a family of kittens trying to get to a mansion at the end of a road; the player must defend them from enemies such as skeletons, grim reapers, and monkeys dressed as devils.<ref name="1up"/><ref name="g4tv">((cite web|url=http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1775/Boom_Blox.html|title=Boom Blox|last=Manuel|first=Rob|date=2008-05-06|publisher=[[X-Play]]|access-date=2008-05-16|archive-date=2008-05-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514032640/http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1775/Boom_Blox.html|url-status=dead))</ref>

===Party mode===
In addition to single player, there are also over 100 cooperative and competitive multiplayer levels available in Party mode that can be played by up to four people on one screen, by taking turns, and on a [[Split screen (computer graphics)|split screen]].<ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="g4tv"/> Cooperative play involves destroying or building structures together with friends and family while competitive play involves playing against others to accumulate the highest scores by destroying blocks with positive point values attached or attacking the opponent's castle to destroy their gem blocks within.<ref name="gamespy"/>

===Create mode===
Create mode is a built-in [[level editor]] that can be used to create or modify multiplayer and single-player levels.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=168078|title=E3: Spielberg's Wii game Blocks revealed|last=Bishop|first=Stuart|date=2007-07-13|publisher=[[Computer and Video Games|CVG]]|access-date=2008-05-14|archive-date=2007-07-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070716162354/http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=168078|url-status=live))</ref> These levels are designed using different types of blocks unlocked by playing through the single-player Explore mode.<ref name="gamespot"/><ref name="g4tv"/> The player can alter the size, height, and width of the blocks, clone them, and assign them attributes such as point value or type.<ref name="ign"/> Then, the user-created levels can be played or sent to people added to the player's Friend roster via [[WiiConnect24]].<ref name="yahoo"/>

==Development==
In 2005, it was announced that [[Steven Spielberg]] and [[Electronic Arts]] would be collaborating to create three new video game titles.<ref name="gametap"/> Many were surprised when, in July, 2007, EA announced that their first collaboration of the three would be ''Boom Blox'', a puzzle game for Wii.<ref name="gamespot"/><ref name="gametap"/> Spielberg explained the unexpected choice, stating that "I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids."<ref name="gamespot"/> He elaborated his younger children enjoy playing the [[Wii]] more than the [[PlayStation 3]] or the [[Xbox 360]], and this was a chance to "show [them] they can have fun playing games that are non-[[Violence in video games|violent]] and much more creative and [[Strategy video game|strategic]]". His children gave feedback for the game because they were allowed to play a prototype.<ref>((cite news|author=Tom Chick |title=A Close Encounter with Steven Spielberg |work=[[Yahoo!]] |date=2008-12-08 |url=http://videogames.yahoo.com/celebrity-byte/steven-spielberg/1271249 |access-date=2008-12-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211191412/http://videogames.yahoo.com/celebrity-byte/steven-spielberg/1271249 |archive-date=2008-12-11 ))</ref>

Initially, the game was to support headtracking, the repositioning of the virtual in-game camera in relation to player's position in the room. The feature, which was to require two Wii Remotes and an [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] headset, was to be included as an [[Easter egg (media)|Easter egg]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/21/gdc08-boom-blox-to-include-head-tracking-seriously|title=GDC08: Boom Blox to include head tracking.
