Introduction
If you like games that are simple to learn but strangely hard to put down, Block Blast is one of those quiet time-eaters. It doesn’t need fast reflexes or a long tutorial—just a bit of logic, a good eye for shapes, and some patience. It’s the kind of game you can open “for a minute” and then realize you’ve been chasing your high score for half an hour.
Gameplay
Block Blast is a block puzzle game where you drag pieces onto a board, fit them together, and clear lines to score points. There’s no gravity like in Tetris; instead, you place each piece wherever it fits.
The basic loop is:
You’re given a set of block shapes.
You place them on the board, trying to form complete rows or columns.
When a row or column is filled, it disappears and you gain points.
You get new sets of pieces and keep going until you can’t place anything.
There’s no timer rushing you, so it’s more about planning than panic. The challenge grows naturally as the board fills up and the pieces become harder to place cleanly.
Tips
Think a few moves ahead. Don’t just drop a piece in the first open space—ask where future pieces might go.
Protect the middle. Keeping the center of the board open gives you more options later.
Look for double clear opportunities. Placing one piece so it finishes both a row and a column feels great and really helps your score.
Don’t build awkward holes. Tiny gaps that no piece can fill will end your run early.
Pause when the board is crowded. Taking a few extra seconds to scan can reveal placements you’d otherwise miss.
Conclusion
Block Blast is easy to pick up, relaxing to play, and surprisingly tactical once you start caring about your score. It’s perfect for short breaks, commuting, or unwinding with a low-pressure puzzle that still makes you think.
