Block Drop

A falling-block puzzle built to modern rules: a 10×20 well, seven-piece bag randomizer, rotation with wall kicks, ghost piece, hold, a five-piece next queue and lock delay. Clear singles up to four-line Quads, land T-spins, chain back-to-back and combo bonuses, and survive as gravity speeds up every 10 lines.

How to play

Move and rotate the falling pieces to fill complete horizontal rows; full rows clear and score points. Clearing four rows at once (a Quad) or spinning a T piece into a tight slot (T-spin) scores big, and repeating them back-to-back earns a 1.5× bonus. Consecutive clears build a combo. Every 10 lines raises the level and the fall speed. Hold one piece for later (once per drop). The game ends when the stack reaches the top.

Controls

Keyboard: Left/Right move (hold to auto-repeat), Down soft drop, Space hard drop, Up or X rotate clockwise, Z or Ctrl rotate counter-clockwise, C or Shift hold, Esc or P pause. Touch: on-screen Hold, Spin, Drop and arrow buttons; on the board tap to rotate, drag to move, drag down to soft drop, flick down to hard drop, flick up to hold.

Tips and strategy

• Hard drops earn 2 points per row fallen and soft drops earn 1, so hard drop as soon as a piece is lined up.
• Back-to-back Quads or T-spin clears earn a 1.5x bonus, and any single, double or triple in between breaks the chain.
• Clear lines on consecutive pieces to build a combo worth 50 times the combo count times your level.
• After a piece lands you get half a second of lock delay, reset by moving or rotating up to 15 times, which is enough to tuck a T into a slot.
• Hold works once per piece, so keep an I piece in hold for when your Quad well is ready.
