How to Play Block Puzzle in 2 Minutes

In block puzzle you drag pieces from a tray of three onto an 8x8 board. When a row or column is completely filled, it clears and scores points. Clear lines on several turns in a row for a combo. The game ends when none of your pieces fits anywhere on the board.

1. Welcome to Blocktide. Press Play for Classic, the endless high-score game. You can also try Adventure, the Daily Puzzle, Blitz and Zen.
2. This is the board, an eight by eight grid. Under it you get three pieces. Drag a piece onto the board and let go.
3. Fill every square in a row or a column and that line clears. Only rows and columns count, not diagonals. Here two rows are ready to clear.
4. A piece must fit completely inside the grid and cannot cover other blocks. In Classic you also cannot rotate pieces, so plan around their shape.
5. Clear lines on turn after turn to build a combo. Every step is worth more points, and the dots show how many misses your combo can survive.
6. Clearing two lines in one move pays four times as much as one line. Three lines pay nine times. Look for moves that clear several lines together.
7. If you empty the entire board, you get an All Clear bonus. That is a great moment to take a breath and start fresh.
8. In Blitz mode you have ninety seconds, and every line you clear adds three more. Adventure has goals and stars instead, and Zen never ends.
9. The game ends when none of your pieces can go anywhere. Keep open space, and look at all three pieces before you move.
10. That is block puzzle. Blocktide is free, works offline, and has a new Daily Puzzle every day. Get it on Google Play. iOS is coming soon.
