Block Burst — Detonate full rows and columns
Block Burst
Line Breaker
Fill a whole row or column to detonate it. Swipe, buttons, or arrow keys.
One card at the start and one at every level. Pick one of three to bend the rules. Scores are kept apart from classic.
How to play
Move and rotate falling jewel pieces. Fill all 8 cells of a row or all 10 cells of a column to detonate it; blocks above collapse and can chain. Tap to rotate, swipe down fast to hard-drop.
Keep a column climbing while you clear rows
Filling a row of eight is easier, but a simultaneous full column doubles the burst. Stack one wall as a rising column and clear rows on the opposite side.
Hard drops are fast and steal the next piece's landing. Use them when a chain is open; otherwise nudge down and fit the shape.
Origin & history
A falling-block hybrid: Tetris-style drops, but a full row or a full column detonates. Score comes from explosions and chains, not just line clears.
FAQ
When does a column explode?
All 10 cells in that column must be filled. If a row fills at the same time you get a cross burst and double score.
What is augment mode?
You pick one of three cards at the start and again at every level, and each card bends the rules. Some turn the board over, like bomb pieces or lines that burst with one gap. Scores are saved apart from classic.
