Block Puzzle: a guide for your next round
Take a moment with Block Puzzle before moving to another game. Place pieces and clear rows/columns until no offered shape fits. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Place shapes on an 8×8 board and clear full lines. The round ends when none of the current shapes fits.
Practice with a purpose
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
The objective of a round
