Block Drop

The falling-blocks puzzle, rebuilt from scratch to run entirely in your browser. Seven shapes drop one at a time into a ten-wide well; rotate and slot them so each row fills all the way across, and full rows vanish. The longer you last the faster they fall — nothing is sent to a server.

How to play

Pieces fall into the well one at a time. Steer the falling piece and spin it so that rows fill completely from edge to edge — a full row clears and everything above it drops down. Hold soft drop to hurry a piece down; when it lands there's a brief moment to still slide or spin it into place before it sets. Clearing several rows at once scores more (a four-line clear is worth the most). Every ten cleared lines bumps the level and the pieces fall a little faster. The game ends when a new piece has no room to enter at the top.

  • — move left / right
  • or X — rotate
  • — soft drop (hold to keep falling fast)
  • Space — hard drop (slam to the bottom)
  • P — pause / resume
  • M — mute / unmute sound

Music and sound effects are synthesised in the browser with the Web Audio API — no audio files are downloaded. Use the Sound button (or press M) to turn them off; your choice is remembered for next time.

On a touch screen, use the buttons below the well. This is an original implementation of the classic falling-block genre and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any commercial product of that kind.
