Line clear: a full row or column disappears and scores.
Drag and drop: press a piece, move it, release to place it.
How the game behaves
Blocks 8 gives you a grid and a set of blocks. You click or press on a block and drag it to where you want it on the grid.
When a row or a column is completely filled, it clears and scores. Clearing several lines with one placement gives more points than clearing them one by one.
It takes its idea from classic Tetris, but the blocks are placed freely rather than falling, so each move is a decision, not a race. The goal is to beat your own best score.
Controls in full
Nothing falls here; each block waits until you choose its place.

Worth trying early
Keep an open area for large blocks so you are not left with a piece that fits nowhere.
Build towards placements that complete two lines at once; several lines together score more.
Remember that columns clear as well as rows.
Blocks do not fall, so take your time over each placement.
Likely to suit
Players who like a calm puzzle and a personal best to beat, on any device.
Worth weighing first
There is no opponent; you play against your own best score.
