Block Blast
Place all three shapes and clear complete rows or columns.
1 / 30Block Blast
Block Blast is an original 8 by 8 spatial puzzle with 30 authored terrain missions and an Endless high-score mode. Place every fixed shape from the current set, clear complete rows or columns, and protect enough open space for the shapes still waiting in the tray.
World and Mission
The Campaign is organized as thirty compact puzzle missions rather than thirty copies of one empty board. Dirt, ice, stone, gems, locks, color targets, and set limits combine into different planning problems.
Endless mode removes the mission target and keeps dealing three-shape sets. Its balanced shape pool includes small connectors, medium corners, long five-cell pieces, larger rectangles, and occasional 3 by 3 squares so a careless board eventually runs out of legal space.
How the Systems Work
Shapes keep the orientation shown in the tray and cannot move after placement. Select a shape and tap a legal board cell, or drag it onto the raised landing preview.
A full row or column clears immediately. Only cleared lines award points; placing a block by itself does not increase the score.
Using all three shapes deals a new fixed set. Campaign missions can also ask for line, terrain, gem, color, or limited-set objectives. The run ends as soon as none of the unused tray shapes has a legal fit.
Ice remains visible beneath a placed block until that line clears, while stone and locks block placement. Gem cells open linked locks when covered.
How to Play
- Choose Campaign for thirty missions or Endless for one continuing score run.
- Select one of the three shapes below the board.
- Tap an open cell or drag the shape to a legal fit.
- Complete a row or column to clear it and score.
- Use all three shapes to receive the next set, while keeping room for every remaining shape.
Strategy Tips
- Inspect all three shapes before committing the first placement.
- Preserve several open regions instead of perfectly filling one corner.
- Build intersecting row and column clears when the next shapes make that safe.
- Do not plan around receiving only tiny pieces; long shapes and occasional 3 by 3 squares are deliberately part of Endless mode.
- In terrain missions, distinguish cells that must be cleared from stone cells that can never be occupied.
Campaign and Difficulty Growth
Stages 1-5 introduce line goals and clean board planning.
Later chapters layer dirt, ice, stone, gems, locks, color targets, mixed objectives, and stricter set limits.
Endless difficulty grows from the board state created by the player's choices, while the shape distribution guarantees regular large-piece pressure without dealing only hard shapes.
Developer Design Note
The score and effects are tied to actual line clears. Clear beams stay centered on the completed row or column, fragments fall from cleared cells, and the white score gain appears over the cleared area without replaying when the player immediately selects the next tray piece. The complete interface uses one centered logical layout with a 920-pixel maximum. Phone, landscape, and desktop views scale the same controls, hit areas, artwork, and game coordinates together instead of stretching individual pieces. Touch, mouse, and keyboard therefore act on the same legal state. The Main poster and Start Game action remain separate from Stage management, while Stage selection, Battle, dialogs, and Result keep their own bounded content and return path.

FAQ
- Can shapes rotate?
- No. Each tray shape keeps its displayed orientation.
- When do points increase?
- Only completed rows or columns award points; simply placing a shape does not.
- How many stages are included?
- There are 30 authored Campaign missions plus an unlimited Endless run.
- What do ice and stone do?
- Ice remains visible beneath a placed block until its line clears; stone cannot be occupied.
- Why did the run end?
- The run ends when none of the unused shapes in the current tray has a legal placement.
- Is progress saved?
- Campaign unlocks and preferences are stored locally in this browser.
- Which controls and screen sizes are supported?
- The same rules support touch, mouse, and keyboard where the game uses those inputs. The interface scales as one logical layout across the required phone, landscape, and desktop viewports.
- Can progress move automatically to another device?
- No. This game currently saves to local browser storage only, so another browser profile or device begins with its own separate local progress unless a future account system is added.
