Description
Vexply Blocks is an original falling-blocks game: you fit four-square pieces into a 10×20 well and every full row disappears. It’s free in your browser, with a ghost piece, next piece, hold and a speed that rises with every level.
Vexply Blocks is our own falling-blocks game: seven four-square pieces in Vexply's style, a 10 × 20 well and a speed that creeps up with every level. It shows the next piece, lets you hold one for later and marks where the piece will land with a dotted outline (you can turn it off in Options). Your games, best scores, stats and 9 achievements are saved only in this browser. Play with the keyboard or the touch buttons, full screen too.
Modes and difficulty
Ghost piece
Shows where the piece will land; can be turned off in Options.
Hold
Set a piece aside to use later, once per piece.
Seven-bag
The seven pieces come shuffled in batches, so there are never long droughts of the one you need.
Tips
- Keep the surface even: one-wide wells can only be filled by the long piece.
- Leave one column open on a side to clear four rows at once with the long piece.
- Use hold to keep a long piece ready or to get rid of one that doesn’t fit.
- Look at the next piece before placing the current one.
- When speed goes up, hard drop with Space instead of waiting for the fall.
Strategy
Clearing four rows at once is worth 700 points per level, almost three times as much as four single rows (400). That’s why the highest-scoring strategy is to build an even stack with one column open at the edge and wait for the long piece. The seven-bag guarantees it never takes too long, and hold lets you keep one ready.
