Falling blocks were never this competitive. Tetrobe turns the stacking puzzle you grew up on into a real-time multiplayer contest - place fast, think faster, and outmaneuver everyone else sharing your board. This isn't a race to clear lines. It's a contest to outlast. Every player has hearts to protect. Reach your rivals' hearts before they reach yours, and be the last one holding the board. WORLD MODE - ONE SHARED GRID Drop into a persistent world where far more than a handful of players build and expand at the same time. Wander too far and edge markers show you exactly which direction each rival lies in, color-matched to their blocks - and one tap takes you straight back to your own heart. REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER MATCHES Prefer something tighter? Start a match with up to six players at once. The board is shared and the pace is quick: one clever placement can undo a rival's plan while setting up your next move. SINGLE PLAYER, ANY TIME No connection, no problem. Play a full match against a built-in opponent across three difficulty levels - the same rules engine the live servers run, so practice genuinely carries over. SPECIAL BLOCKS, REAL STRATEGY Walls shield the ground you have claimed. Hearts are what everyone is playing for. Read the board, plan two moves ahead, and place at exactly the right moment. FRIENDS & PRIVATE LOBBIES Add friends with a friend code, see who's online, and open a private lobby to settle who is actually the best. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN Anyone can place a block. Winning takes nerve. Balance speed against strategy, draw your rivals into a mistake, and claim the space they leave open. Free to play. Gather your friends or take on the world.
