Introduction to 10 Blocks
You probably think you’ve seen a million block puzzlers, but 10 Blocks has a neat twist that keeps it feeling fresh. At its heart this is a simple 10×10 grid where you’re given three shapes at a time—little clusters of squares in various configurations—and you have to decide where to drop each one. Once a full row or column is filled, it disappears and gives you more breathing room. The controls are super intuitive: just tap or drag to place, then sit back and watch the magic happen.
The real fun comes from juggling those three shapes: sometimes you’re staring at a straight 5-block line next to an L-shape or a square, and suddenly your nice neat row is blocked off. You have to think ahead, not just about clearing one line but setting yourself up for combo clears that really pile on the points. Miss your chance and you’ll be scrambling to fit a long piece into a tight gap, which is every bit as satisfying and infuriating as it sounds.
There’s no timer breathing down your neck, so it’s a nice change of pace if you just want to chill out and let your brain sort out the puzzle at its own pace. But don’t be fooled by that mellow vibe—once you get into the groove, it’s easy to lose track of time chasing a new high score. And unlike other games that feel repetitive after a while, 10 Blocks somehow stays fresh, maybe because every new set of three shapes feels like a mini puzzle in itself.
All in all, whether you’ve got thirty seconds on the subway or a lazy afternoon to kill, this game fits right into your pocket. It’s a perfect blend of simple rules and deep strategy, with just enough randomness to keep you on your toes. Give it a whirl and you might find yourself going “just one more round” more times than you’d expect.
