How to play
Block Blast is a puzzle game about fitting blocks onto a grid. The developer says the goal is to create vertical or horizontal lines of blocks without gaps, and when such a line is created, it gets destroyed. Your board fills up as you place pieces, so the room you have to work with keeps shrinking while you decide where each new block should go. Keep your board clear and keep your cool as things heat up, the developer says. The rules are easy to pick up on the first drop, and the game gets harder the longer you last.
Controls explained
Use the mouse to move a block and place it on the board. On a touchscreen, use your finger instead. Drag the piece to the spot you want, then release to drop it. Both mouse and touch work, so the game runs on a computer, phone or tablet. There are no other keys to learn.
Tips
- Look at the whole board before you drop. A block that fills one gap can close off a line you were building.
- Keep the board flat. Tall piles in one corner leave fewer places for the next piece.
- Clear lines near the edges first. They are simpler to finish and free space in the middle.
- Watch for a spot where one block completes both a vertical and a horizontal line.
- Leave an opening in more than one row so you still have options when the next block arrives.
FAQ

Can I play Block Blast on a phone? Yes. The game supports touch as well as the mouse, so you can drag and drop blocks with your finger.
Do I need to download anything? No. The game runs free in the browser. Open the page and start placing blocks.
