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
