Flow Block offers a fresh and dynamic twist on the classic block-dropping puzzle genre. If you enjoy the strategic line-clearing of Tetris and the cascading, unpredictable nature of sand physics, this game is your perfect match. In Flow Block, you don't just place static shapes; you manipulate flowing sand blocks. Your primary goal is to create solid, single-color horizontal lines. When a complete line is formed, the sand disintegrates and is cleared from the playfield. The core challenge and unique hook of Flow Block lies in the granular, shifting nature of your pieces. They aren't rigid; they are composed of individual grains that settle and flow. This means your placement strategy must account for gravity and the potential for sand to spill, fill gaps, or disrupt nearly completed lines below. A successful strategy in Flow Block requires foresight. You must think not just about the immediate block you're placing, but how its sand will cascade and interact with the existing landscape. Poor planning will result in incomplete rows. The consequence is that the sand level will gradually rise, filling the container from the bottom up. Your game ends if the accumulating sand reaches the red line at the top of the screen. To excel in Flow Block, you need to balance aggressive line-building with careful containment, managing the flow to survive as long as possible. It's a test of spatial reasoning and adaptive planning under the constant, granular pressure of the rising sand.
Flow Block Instructions
Q: How do I place blocks in Flow Block?
A: Blocks appear at the bottom. Click a block to pick it up (it moves to the top of the screen). Hold the left mouse button on the block to drag it, and release to drop it in your desired position.
Q: What is the main objective in Flow Block?
A: Your goal is to create complete, horizontal lines of a single color. When a full line is made, the sand blocks within it will crumble and be removed from the field.
Q: Why didn't my line clear in Flow Block?
A: A line only clears if it is perfectly solid and unbroken. If it's missing even a few sand grains, or if grains of a different color are mixed in, it will not delete.
Q: How does the sand physics affect my strategy in Flow Block?
A: Sand grains fall and settle. When placing blocks higher up, be cautious—their falling sand can disrupt or fill incomplete lines below, which can prevent future clears.
Q: What happens if I leave incomplete rows in Flow Block?
A: Incomplete rows cause the overall sand level to rise. If the sand fills the container and reaches the red line at the top, the game is over. Plan your moves carefully to last as long as you can.
