Example Block Game

About

Example Block Game is a puzzle-focused block-stacking challenge where the goal is to avoid filling the screen completely. The core loop revolves around placing blocks to clear lines while the pile slowly rises. Seven built-in modes offer variations on the formula each with distinct rules and scoring. Players can track high scores for each mode through the main menu. The game uses a standardized kick table for wall kicks and rotation mechanics making it a solid reference for custom mode development. This open-source project runs on the Lua/LÖVE engine and welcomes player contributions. Its minimalist design prioritizes core puzzle mechanics without extra polish making it a functional tool for developers interested in block-based game design. Released in March 2022 it plays well on PC Linux and Mac systems. The lack of multiplayer and limited visual flair won't appeal to everyone but the focus on modding and technical accuracy has built a small following among indie dev communities.
