About Block Stacker

Block Stacker is a classic Tetris-style falling block puzzle game. Tetrominoes (four-block shapes) fall from the top of the board. Your goal is to arrange them to fill complete horizontal lines, which are then cleared to score points.

Scoring

  • 1 line: 100 points × level
  • 2 lines: 300 points × level
  • 3 lines: 500 points × level
  • 4 lines (Tetris): 800 points × level

Strategy tips

  • Keep the stack flat: a flat, even top surface gives every piece a legal placement. Avoid tall spikes and isolated holes.
  • Save the I-piece for Tetris: build a flat stack with one column left open, then drop the I-piece to clear all 4 lines at once for maximum score.
  • T-spin bonus: rotating a T-piece into a T-shaped slot (a T-spin) scores a bonus multiplier in most Tetris rule sets, even clearing fewer lines.
  • Use hold strategically: hold the I-piece until you need it for a Tetris; hold an awkward piece until the board is ready for it.
