About Block Arcade

Goal

Score as high as you can before the stack reaches the top.

Mechanics

• Pieces fall one at a time. Move and rotate each one into place.
• Fill a complete row to clear it. Everything above drops down.
• Clear two, three, or four rows with one piece for a bigger score.
• If a piece doesn't fit your plan, hold it and swap it back in later.
• Every ten lines you level up, and levelling up increases the pace.
• The run ends when new pieces can no longer drop.

Power-ups

Earn power-ups as you play to slow a piece, undo a mistake, wipe a colour off the board, or use Life after a game over. They extend your run and don't carry over to the next one.

Goal

Keep the board open for as long as you can, and score by clearing.

Mechanics

• Three shapes appear in the tray.
• Place each one anywhere it fits. There's no timer, and no rotation: shapes fit as they are.
• Fill a full row or column to clear it. Fill both at once and it counts double.
• Clear on consecutive placements to build a combo. A placement with no clear ends the combo.
• Place all three and a new set arrives.
• The run ends when none of the three shapes fits.
