"Falling Blocks" is a free classic puzzle game where you rotate and move falling blocks to complete lines and clear them.
How to Play
PC: ← → to move, ↑ to rotate, ↓ for soft drop, Space for hard drop, Shift/C to hold
Mobile: Use the buttons below the board
Fill a full row with blocks to clear it
Clear more lines at once for more points! (1 line = 100, 2 = 300, 3 = 500, 4 = 800)
Level up every 10 lines! The blocks fall faster too
If the blocks stack up to the top, it's game over!
Tips and Tricks for a High Score in Falling Blocks
Keep the surface flat: Bumpy stacks leave gaps you cannot fill. Keeping the heights even makes lines easier to clear.
Leave one edge column open for a 4-line clear: Save a slot for the long vertical block and you can clear 4 lines at once for big points.
Rotate blocks into gaps: A piece that does not fit at first will often slot perfectly into a hole once you rotate it.
Use the hold box: Store a block you cannot use right now and bring it back when you really need it.
Do not stack too high: When the pile gets tall, clear 1-2 lines at a time to get back in control instead of waiting for a big clear.
