Fill rows with falling blocks to clear them

What is it?

Block Drop is a puzzle game where you rotate and move falling blocks of different shapes; fill a row with no gaps and it disappears. The game ends when the blocks stack up to the top.

Every 10 lines cleared, the level goes up and blocks fall faster. You can start at level 1, 5 or 10; starting higher is harder, but each line is worth more.

About the difficulty levels	Starting at a higher level means faster drops but bigger line scores — each starting speed has its own best score and ranking

There's a weekly ranking and an all-time ranking; the weekly one resets every Monday at midnight (Korea time). For details, see the Help.

Line score = base score × current level. The base score is 100 for 1 line at once, 300 for 2, 500 for 3 and 800 for 4.
Dragging down to soft-drop adds 1 point per row, and flicking for a hard drop adds 2 per row.
Blocks come in shuffled sets of all 7 shapes, so no shape stays missing for too long. A block that touches down can still be moved or rotated for 0.5 s (extended up to 15 times).
You can continue once per game. No ad is required, and your score and time carry on.

Learn from examples

Clearing 4 lines at once pays double

At level 5, clearing one line four times gives (100 × 4) × 5 = 2,000 points, but clearing four lines at once gives 800 × 5 = 4,000. That's why players leave a one-cell column open at one edge and wait for the long bar. But if the stack passes half the screen, don't get greedy — clear lines right away.

Common mistakes

Covering up empty cells under a block.: A row with a covered hole won't clear until everything above it is cleared. Before placing, rotate the block so its bottom fits the stack's surface with no gaps.
Stacking too high while waiting for the long bar.: Blocks fall faster as the level rises. When the stack gets dangerous, clear even one or two lines first.

Tips

The more lines you clear at once, the bigger the score. Keep one edge column open and clear several lines together with the long bar.
Keep the top of your stack as flat as possible. A bumpy surface leaves fewer places for the next block.
Use the open edge column before it gets too deep. Once it's deeper than 4 cells, a single bar can't fill it.
Higher levels leave less time to think. Check the next block in advance and decide where it will go.
