Blocks is a fun little combo puzzle game. Your goal is to add blocks to the center box as long as you can. To do that, you need to fill the box's edges horizontally or vertically, causing the blocks to disappear.

If you add blocks that don't fit, you lose health. If you run out of health, the game is over.

Controls

Blocks will gradually move from a random direction towards the box. The further you get into the game, the faster they will go. You can also manually force blocks into the box using the d-pad. Pressing the up button will add the upper blocks, pressing the right button will add the blocks on the right, and so on.

You can rotate the box using both the crank and the A and B buttons. Rotating the crank forward or pressing the A button will rotate the box clock-wise. Rotating the crank backward or pressing the B button will rotate the box counter clock-wise.

Points

Points are earned by clearing the edges of the box. Clearing multiple edges simultaneously gives a higher score. If clearing the edges results in an empty box, you get twice a many points. In addition to earning points, clearing all 4 edges gives you extra health. These are the points you get:

You start at level 1 and every thousand points, you go up a level. So, first at 1000, then at 2000 etc. When you go up a level, you get extra health. When the level increases, the speed of the blocks moving towards the box also increases. The higher the level, the faster they go!

Comments, questions, bug reports, etc. — all welcome. Thanks for playing!
