Game Mechanics

Block Blast is a puzzle game built around strategic block placement rather than time pressure.

Each move permanently changes the board, making long-term planning more valuable than immediate points.


Core Gameplay

Players place available block pieces onto the board.

Rows and columns disappear when completely filled.

Clearing multiple lines with a single move generally creates better opportunities for future placements.


Fundamental Principles

  • Keep the center of the board flexible.
  • Avoid isolated empty cells.
  • Preserve large open spaces.
  • Think several moves ahead.
  • Avoid unnecessary board fragmentation.

Common Mistakes

  • Filling corners too early.
  • Chasing immediate points.
  • Blocking future placements.
  • Ignoring available space.
  • Creating narrow gaps.
