Blocks

Falling block games

19 games

Blocks fall from above, you turn and place them, and a full row disappears. That simple idea from the eighties still keeps players busy for hours, because every new piece asks for a quick decision.

Every falling block game in the catalogue is here: classic Tetrix, its XL and 3D versions, Pentris with five square pieces, upside down blocks that rise instead of fall and blends with brick breaking. For calmer stacking, see the 10x10 grid games in the same world.

Questions and answers

Which game is closest to the classic?

Tetrix and Tetro Classic keep the classic rules: four square pieces, full rows and a pace that tests your reflexes.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Most games have on screen controls, and some use the arrow keys when you play on a computer.

What changes in the 3D versions?

The blocks fall into a space with depth, so you complete rows on several sides. It takes a little getting used to and brings a fresh challenge.
