## What is The Blocks Cometh?

Play as multiple different characters, each with their own special skills to help them survive the onslaught of descending blocks. Keep climbing or face certain death. Scramble up a treacherous chain of crates, boxes, and blocks to see how high you can reach. If there's no safe route, you can strategically destroy some of the blocks to open a route. Don't take too long to think about it, though. The blocks keep coming, and they only get faster as you ascend!

The Blocks Cometh comes from Halfbot Studios, the developer behind the hit mobile version of Super Crate Box. It features a cast of wild characters that can be unlocked by achieving certain goals. Every character has their own skills and abilities, allowing you to find the one that fits your play style best! Challenge yourself in 4 different modes: Classic, Casual, Arcade, and the retro throw-back Gamebot. No matter how you choose to play, The Blocks Cometh. So what are you going to do about it? 

** Supports MFi, XBox, and PlayStation Controllers **

Frantic Action: Blocks keep on crashing in from above. Dodge, attack, or climb on top of them to stay one step ahead of extinction!

Multiple Modes: Play the standard Classic Mode, take it easy with Casual Mode, go for a high score in Arcade Mode, or kick it old-school in Gamebot Mode!

A Wacky Cast: Unlock and play as 14 different characters including Velocispider, League of Evil's Leaper, and... Jim Sterling!?

Play Your Way: Master classic button controls or the optional tilt controls. Play in vertical mode to see the blocks sooner, or horizontal mode for a close-up view of the action!

Ascend to Great Heights: Climb to awesome altitudes on these tricky, towering blocks. How high can you get?

### 4/5 — TETRIS PARKOUR

*2023-08-23*

I’ve always wanted to play a game where Tetris blocks fall from the sky and you have to dodge them. Unfortunately I could never find a game like that until I discovered this game! The only reason this is a 4/5 is because it’s one of those pay to complete games.

### 1/5 — Whyhh

*2023-02-21, version 1.8.26*

I’m sad, i really liked this game before it was bought by gameclub but now i need to pay six dollars a month for a game that used to be free! The blocks cometh is the only game that i want on gameclub but since it is so expensive it’s just not worth it anymore

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2021-04-01, version 1.8.25*

Best game. brings back memories!

### 4/5 — Super fun!👍🏻

*2020-10-30, version 1.7*

Nice, but the game always crashes when I open the store.

### 1/5 — I’m so glad I turned off my auto-updates in time.

*2019-12-24, version 1.8.2*

Looks like there’s another scam-master scooping up old iOS titles you already own and forcing you to pay a premium subscription fee to access. Ultra scummy move, GameClub. I’ll stick with my unupdated versions, thanks.

### 5/5 — So lit!

*2019-07-07, version 1.7*

So lit and has cool characters!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2017-01-07*

I don't have a lot of games on my phone but this is one of them. It is fun if you just need to pass a little time, I recommend it.

### 1/5 — Qpalzm

*2016-12-28, version 1.7*

Fun

### 5/5 — great game

*2016-10-17, version 1.7*

This is an exceptional game. I love the retro pixelated art and electric music. And the characters really motivate you to keep playing.

### 5/5 — Real fun game

*2016-09-10, version 1.7*

Definitely recommend this one
