Play Block Blast

Choose any shape in the tray, then tap the top-left corner of its footprint on the board. Your first valid placement starts the run.

Place wooden rune shapes on an 8×8 board. Clear full rows and columns, combine lines for bonus points and keep space for the next tray of three. An untimed block puzzle with a local best score.

How to play

The board has eight rows and eight columns. Every cell of a shape must land inside the board on an empty square.
The tray holds three randomly drawn shapes. They include beams, squares, rectangles, corners and L, J, T, S and Z runes. Shapes keep their orientation.
Choose any of the three shapes first. Place all three before a fresh tray is dealt; used slots stay empty until then.
A completely filled row or column clears immediately. All completed rows and columns clear at the same time, including intersections. Other blocks stay in place.
The run ends when no remaining shape fits anywhere. One blocked piece alone does not end the run.

Controls

Mouse or touch: Select a shape, then click or tap the top-left corner of its footprint. A mouse hover previews the fit. Pause stops input, and Resume returns to the board.
Keyboard: Press 1, 2 or 3 to select a tray shape. Arrow keys move focus on the board; Enter or Space places the shape. Escape clears your selection.

Score and progress

Each placed block earns one point. Clearing lines adds 10 × lines × lines for that placement: 10 for one line, 40 for two, 90 for three. Your best score is saved on this browser when local storage is available.

Tips

Look at all three pieces before placing the first. Leave a home for the largest shape, especially the 3×3 square or five-block beam.
Avoid isolated holes. Only the single-block Spark can fill a one-cell gap, and the next tray is random.
Build rows and columns together. Completing both in one move clears the crossing and earns a larger bonus.
A shape marked as blocked may fit after another shape clears a line. Try the other pieces before giving up.

Questions before you play

Choose one of three shapes, then tap the top-left corner of its footprint on the board. Fill a row or column to clear it. Use all three shapes before a new tray arrives. Shapes cannot rotate.

When does the game end?

Only when none of the remaining tray shapes fits anywhere on the board. There is no timer. Play again starts a fresh board and tray.
