Block Ace
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
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.
Controls
Controls are fully customizable. Defaults are:
Keyboard
X: Shoot down, confirm
Z: Shoot up, cancel
V: Self-destruct
Gamepad (Nintendo style)
B: Shoot down, confirm
Y: Shoot up, cancel
A: Self-destruct
macOS Notes
For macOS, see the download page for tips about how to open the game, which will likely require special authorization for your operating system to run.
