Block Blast
About Block Blast
Block Blast is a super basic puzzle game - you drag blocks onto a square board, try to clear rows or columns, and that’s it. But wow, this thing creeps up on you. You started playing it while waiting for dinner to cook, and suddenly you are sitting on the couch 45 minutes later, trying to figure out how you boxed yourself in.
What’s the Deal?
You get an 8x8 grid and a set of blocks - just three at a time. Some are nice and small, others are these weird, bulky shapes that don’t fit anywhere. The goal is to place them in a way that clears full rows or columns. When you do, the line disappears, you get points, and you keep going. If you run out of space and can’t place a block, that’s it - game over.
Easy, right? Until your perfectly clean board turns into a mess because you got greedy chasing a combo and now have nowhere to put that stupid T-shape.
Why You Keep Coming Back
There’s no music yelling at you, no timers stressing you out - it’s just strategy. But not in a boring way. It’s more like: "If I put this here, and that one there, maybe I can line up two clears at once." And when that actually works? It feels amazing. Like, tiny little victory, amazing.
Also, you start to get better the more you play. You learn not to fill the center too early, or to always leave a spot open for those long 5-block pieces. There’s a weird satisfaction in just surviving.
Tip to win
- Don’t rush. Seriously. Take your time thinking.
- Always keep an eye out for potential double-clears or setups.
- And never, never, get cocky. That’s how the grid gets you.
Not a fancy game. Not flashy. But Block Blast is one of those sneaky little puzzles that quietly wreck your free time in the best way.
