What do you get when you mix the fast-paced puzzle gameplay of Tetris with the intense platforming of Super Meat Boy? You get Blockcharted, a thrilling game where the fear of being trapped by falling blocks becomes a reality.
Developed by solo developer Jimmy Nollet, Blockcharted is available as a free release. In this game, you must leap from one falling block to another, skillfully avoiding the cascade of shapes that threaten to crush you. As you continue to survive, the game's pace intensifies, challenging your reflexes until a misstep leads to your inevitable downfall.
But don't worry, you're not just at the mercy of your quick reflexes. Blockcharted offers a range of power-ups to aid your survival. These include slowing down time to better dodge the blocks, freezing them in place to give you a breather, or teleporting out of harm's way.
**Chipping Away** Blockcharted features two distinct game modes. Classic mode challenges you to ascend as high as possible, while Inferno mode adds an extra layer of difficulty with a rising pool of lava that forces you upward. Even if you're not typically a fan of platformers, the puzzle elements in Blockcharted are sure to captivate you.
The game is set to a backdrop of cheerful chiptune music and features charming, stylized graphics. Best of all, Blockcharted is free to play, so you have nothing to lose—except perhaps your patience with this fast-paced, block-dodging platformer.
