Beauty Blast: Makeover & Story

Puzzles with a makeover story

Beauty Blast: Makeover & Story combines casual block-blasting puzzles with a story about Fiona rebuilding her life after betrayal. Clear puzzle levels to move the story forward, then take part in makeover choices as she works on her appearance and surroundings. It suits players who like a light puzzle loop with character and plot between levels, rather than a puzzle board on its own.

How it plays

The main activity is clearing groups of matching cubes from the board. Levels add obstacles and boosters to vary the challenge, so progress depends on choosing which groups to clear and when to use the tools available. Puzzle wins are tied to the story’s progress: completing levels lets you see more of Fiona’s situation and make changes as she starts over.

The makeover element adds a second reason to keep playing. You can choose fashion combinations and see Fiona’s look change as the story develops. The game therefore alternates between solving a board and following the results of those wins, with the narrative providing context for the next stretch of puzzles.

Who it may suit

This is a good fit if you enjoy straightforward casual puzzles, makeover choices and a dramatic storyline in one game. Players looking mainly for open-ended styling may find that the makeover choices sit alongside, rather than replace, the puzzle levels. Likewise, those who prefer puzzles without story interruptions may be less interested in Fiona’s journey.
