## What is Block Battle?

Block Battle: The Bottleneck

Fight for space in a bottle.
You drop blocks from the top. The computer rises from the bottom. The narrow neck is where battles are won or lost.

How it's different
Not just another block puzzle. This is a vertical duel: your territory vs the AI's. Clear lines to push pressure into the opponent's side. Hold the perfect piece. Survive as the board shifts between black and white.

Features
• Top vs bottom – two gravity directions, one bottle
• Fast, minimalist black-and-white block gameplay
• Swipe and tap – play with one hand on mobile
• HOLD piece for strategic saves
• Progressive AI – smarter and faster each level
• Japanese-inspired sound design
• Easy to start, hard to master

Fans of classic falling-block puzzles and Tetris-style games will feel right at home – with a fresh competitive twist.

Choose your side. Control the neck. Outlast the computer.
Download Block Battle: The Bottleneck – it's free.
