Stack falling blocks. Clear lines. Survive the rotating world. Retro Block Pro reinvents the classic falling-block puzzle with a twist nobody else dared: the playfield isn't a static well — it's a 40-column cylinder that scrolls one column every six seconds. Blocks you lock travel off the left edge and return from the right four minutes later, exactly where you left them. Build smart or get haunted by your own past. A neon-drenched synthwave aesthetic ties the whole thing together: vaporwave gradients, Liquid Glass panels, an Outrun-style perspective grid scrolling toward the horizon, and three original chiptune tracks composed for the game (Neon Drive, Dark Drive, Pixel Dreams). WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Scrolling cylinder playfield: 40 columns wide, 10 visible, full rotation every 4 minutes - Bomb pickups (Bomberman-style): land a piece on one to detonate a 5x5 hole in the stack - Chaos hazards: land on a red one by accident and it INJECTS junk blocks instead of clearing them - Mystery pieces: ~6% of pieces shapeshift through 5 random tetrominoes in 3 seconds before settling - Random spawn columns: pieces don't always drop from the center - Modern controls: PS Vita style D-Pad with separate A (rotate) / B (hard drop) / SELECT (hold) buttons - Soft-drop, hard-drop, ghost preview, hold queue, 7-bag randomizer - 20 levels with NES-accurate gravity curves POLISH YOU CAN FEEL - 60 FPS pixel-perfect SpriteKit rendering - Soft neon mist particles trailing every falling piece - Pulse halos on bombs so you can read danger at a glance - Haptic feedback synced to lock, line clear, and explosion - Three switchable soundtracks with smooth crossfade - Full mute toggle right in the gameplay HUD - Auto-pause when you switch apps - Local high-score table with top 10 saved on-device WHAT IT WON'T DO - No ads.
