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) Download for free now!
