About Block Burst
Block puzzles like Block Blast are currently among the most downloaded games on both the Play Store and the App Store. Block Burst brings that same satisfying "place and clear" loop to your browser.
You always get three blocks at a time. Placing all three gives you a fresh set. While you drag, the board previews exactly where the block will land and which lines it will clear.

How to play Block Burst
- Drag a block. Or tap a block and then tap the square for its top-left corner.
- Fill a line. A full row or column clears.
- Chain clears. Clearing on consecutive turns builds a combo multiplier.
- Keep space open. The game ends when none of your blocks fit.
Rules
- Blocks cannot be rotated.
- Rows and columns can clear at the same time for bigger points.
- Clearing the whole board earns a 300 point bonus.
Levels and difficulty
Block Burst is an endless score-attack game. The challenge comes from the shapes you are dealt and how well you keep the board open.
Scoring
Each placed square is worth 1 point. Clearing lines scores more for multiple lines at once and multiplies further with your combo streak. Daily challenge scores can be shared with friends.
Tips and strategy for Block Burst
- Keep a 3×3 space open for the big square block.
- Avoid leaving single empty holes that only a 1×1 block can fill.
- Place the hardest block of each set first, while you still have options.
- Build toward clearing two lines at once rather than one at a time.
How we built and tested Block Burst
The game uses 34 different block shapes. When a new set is dealt, the game rerolls a few times if needed so that at least one of the three blocks fits whenever that is possible. We ran automated games to check that placement, line clears and the game-over check always match the board you see.
