How to play Block Drop

  1. Blocks of four cells fall from the top of the well.
  2. Move and rotate them to build complete horizontal rows.
  3. A completed row clears and everything above drops down.
  4. Clearing several rows at once scores far more. The game ends when the stack reaches the top.

Tips & strategy

  • Keep the stack flat and leave a single well column on one side for the long piece.
  • Four rows at once โ€” a Tetris โ€” is worth eight times a single row, so it is usually worth the wait.
  • Use Hold to bank a long piece when the well is not ready for it.
  • Watch the next-piece preview and place the current block for the one after it.

Frequently asked questions

How does scoring work?

One row scores 100 ร— level, two scores 300, three scores 500 and four scores 800, all multiplied by the current level.

When does the level increase?

Every ten lines cleared. Each level increases the falling speed.

What does Hold do?

It stores the current piece for later and swaps in whatever you held previously. You can only hold once per piece.
