Introduction to Blocks

Welcome to Blocks, a game where the challenge is to strategically place different-shaped blocks to fill lines, earn points, and clear the screen. The objective of Blocks is simple: rotate and position falling Blocks to create complete horizontal lines without any gaps. Once a line is full of Blocks, it disappears, and the Blocks above it fall to fill the empty space. This classic game of Blocks provides endless entertainment and a test of your spatial reasoning skills. Master the art of fitting Blocks and achieve the highest score in Blocks.
