## What is Hot Blocks™?

Hot Blocks™ is an addictive block puzzle game. With a twist on the Tetris-style gameplay, players must fill their board with dirt blocks to keep away from the approaching lava. Unlike in other similar games, blocks can NOT be rotated but don't come one at a time. Blocks float down the screen in bubbles, touch to pop them and then drag them into position. Block pieces will return to their bubbles if you release them in an unavailable location. 

Tip: Use this mechanic to juggle blocks until you are ready to place them

Placing the blocks into rows will create cement blocks that will last longer against the perusing lava. Creating multiple rows at a time will create even stronger blocks that can sustain even more damage!

Block Types:
Dirt - these are the basic building blocks
Concrete - these are much stronger and are created by completing a single row 
Bronze - these are created by completing 2 rows at once
Obsidian - these are created by completing 3 rows at once
Diamond - these are created by completing 4 rows at once 

Power-Blocks:
Snowflake - freeze the lava for a few seconds
2x - doubles your score for a few seconds
Mystery block - creates a random material line on the row it was placed

The game also features 3 difficulty modes (Amateur, Seasoned, and Expert)

### 4/5 — Tetris with a twist

*2023-09-19*

I’m a huge Tetris fan and this put a unique twist on the classic game.

Although it can’t compete with grand heights if the monolithic classic that is Tetris (what can); I say that it is a fun re-imagining of the legendary game.

I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to learn, be proficient, and optimize this game play and open it up every time I need to kill 10 mins.

Overall happy with the game.

### 5/5 — This game should have an addiction warning before you download

*2023-09-17*

My girlfriend is starting to wonder if I’m autistic because of how addicted I am to this game. I don’t know why I’m so hooked on it 😭
