## What is blockwise?

blockwise is an innovative and unique block puzzle game with a beautiful hand-painted graphics style. Keep the board empty as long as possible by combining blocks of the same type. It’s game mechanics are easy to learn but hard to master. Can you beat the highscore?

How does it work?

- Try to combine tetrominos onto the board in a way that at least 3 blocks of the same type get connected
- Combine and remove multiple block types at once to cause combos 
- Shiny blocks destroy neighbour blocks when removed. Place them wisely to cause powerful chain reactions
- Remove blocks over multiple consecutive turns to boost your score with streaks
- Volcanoes can cause small and big eruptions which will remove multiple blocks at once
- Compete with other players and climb the leaderboard
- Pause and resume the game at any time


Which game modes are available?

- classic: score as many points until there is no more space left on the board
- speed: quick and fun game mode in which you need to score as fast as possible to reset the timeout clock

Every game mode is available in three different difficulties: beginners, intermediates and experts to keep the game challenging but not too hard for any level of experience.


Why should I play blockwise?

Due to it's simple but powerful mechanics you can play blockwise at any time of your day. Need a break from work? Just want to relax after a tough day? blockwise will help you to relax and stretch your mind at the same time. It can help you to reach the state of flow.


How is blockwise being funded?

Building, maintaining and promoting mobile apps as an independent developer is time consuming and costly. At the same time I want to offer the game to a broad audience even without the need to spend money. Therefore blockwise offers a transparent and flexible funding model which gives the player the freedom of choice: 
You can choose between a free version (supported by ads) and a paid, ad-free version which can be acquired directly from within the app. You can switch over to the paid version at any time inside the settings menu.
