No ads. The blocks keep drifting down. Drag to aim. Release a stream of ricocheting marbles. Break numbered blocks before they cross the line, and turn every clean volley into score, momentum and a deeper run. BUILD A RUN • Grow your volley with marble pickups. • Draft a Workshop boost every 15m in endless runs. • Explore three 18m expeditions: Shieldworks, Glassworks and Repairworks, with boosts at 6m and 12m. • Hit directional armor from above, break linked tiles, redirect marbles and expose shielded targets. • Complete the Bankshot trial, then discover Needle and Focus through deeper runs or expedition victories. • Combine the right perks to activate the Aftershock, Threader and Impact evolutions. • Bank power-ups for the moment the blocks get close. SHATTER THE CORE Core Blocks descend as recurring zone challenges. Focus your marbles, open the shell, claim a score bounty, bank a power-up and clear the entire row.

Read full description

BLOCK SURVIVOR is a vertical brick-break roguelite where every run becomes a fight to survive. Move the paddle, launch the ball, break enemy blocks, collect EXP, and choose upgrades that change your next wave. Blocks keep descending over time, bosses appear during longer runs, and every combo can turn into a screen-filling chain of rebounds, split balls, lightning, magnets, shields, bombs, and lucky rewards. Build your run with upgrades like Multi Ball, Power Shot, Wide Paddle, Piercing, Chain Lightning, Funnel, Repair, Repel, Split Ball, and EXP Boost. Defeat boss blocks to spin the roulette and earn multiple rewards at once. Between runs, earn coins and unlock permanent shop upgrades to start stronger next time. Your progress and high scores are stored locally on your device, so you can keep chasing better runs at your own pace. Features: • Fast vertical brick-break survival gameplay • Roguelite upgrade choices during each run • Boss blocks and roulette rewards • Combo-focused block formations • Local coins, shop upgrades, and high scores • Neon pixel visuals with a CRT-style arcade look • No account required
