Falling Block Shooting Action

Out in space, you are a Block Ace—a fighter who pilots a special spaceship for destroying and moving the Tetris-like blocks that threaten the planet.

As the blocks fall, shoot off parts of them, move them into position, and try to set up neat, full lines of 12 blocks to clear them out.

As the game progresses, enemies will begin to appear attached to their blocks. You can either destroy them or dodge their bullets and use them to clear lines.

Keyboard
X: Shoot down, confirm

macOS Notes
