Block Blast

Block Blast is a strategic puzzle browser game where players drag and drop block shapes onto a grid to clear lines and achieve high scores.Inspired by the classic Tetris formula, Block Blast swaps falling blocks for a drag-and-drop mechanic, making gameplay more relaxed but equally engaging. Challenging yet satisfying, it caters to puzzle lovers who enjoy planning and spatial thinking.

As you progress, the difficulty gradually increases, requiring sharper logic and quicker decision-making. The objective is simple, yet the pursuit of high scores and the thrill of clearing multiple lines simultaneously keep players coming back for more. With no timers or frantic movements, Block Blast rewards methodical thinking and spatial awareness over speed.

Gameplay Mechanics

At the core of Block Blast lies a simple but effective gameplay loop:

• Drag & Drop Gameplay: Players are given three randomly generated block shapes at a time.
• Grid-Based Board: The playfield consists of a grid where you can place the blocks. You must fit block shapes onto the grid in a unified and calculated manner.
• Clear Lines for Points: A line is cleared when an entire row or column is filled with blocks. Each cleared line earns you points.
• Combos: Remove multiple lines at once or in succession to score combo bonuses.
• Continuous Play: The game continues as long as there is space to place the blocks. It's game over when no valid placements remain.

Score Calculation

• Basic Points: Each cleared row or column gives you 10 points.
• Combo Bonuses: Removing lines consecutively awards escalating combo points, up to 100 points for a 9-line combo.
• Special Blocks: Some power-up blocks help clear larger areas, aiding in managing difficult or cluttered grids.

Controls & Interface

Block Blast uses intuitive browser-based controls:

• Mouse / Touch Inputs: Click (or tap) and drag blocks from the bottom panel onto the grid.
• No Rotation: Blocks cannot be rotated, making strategic placement even more crucial.
• Visual Elements:
