Element Blocks

Launching the Element Blocks puzzle game will show a grid and a collection of differently-shaped blocks on the side.

Your task is to simply drag and drop these blocks onto the grid.

The main objective is to keep the grid from becoming overcrowded so you can keep placing new shapes on it. Keep an eye on the available pieces on the right side of the screen. There, you can decide how to put the shapes onto the grid.

Drop the block shapes strategically to create vertical or horizontal lines. Filling entire rows or columns with blocks will free up space and score points. When you fill a line, it disappears, creating more space for you to keep playing. Aim to clear multiple lines at once for higher scores and bigger rewards.

Tips for powering up your game

To help extend your game, you have two power-ups:

• Dynamite: removes a 3x3 area from the playing field

• Lightning: clears all blocks of a specific color

Collect stars to buy power-ups. Stars randomly appear on blocks you place. You can collect them by including them in complete lines. Use these power-ups wisely, as they become more expensive with each use.

Need more stars? Completing achievements will also reward you with stars.

Every action on the grid fills your multiplier and gives you points. To boost your score, increase your multiplier and clear multiple lines simultaneously. The challenge lies in managing the grid space effectively to keep the game going as long as possible.

The game is endless, continuing until you run out of moves. So, plan ahead and place your blocks strategically to prolong your game and achieve high scores.
