Controls: Click/Tap/Space = Drop block | P = Pause | R = Restart

Input Model

Space, enter, tap, or click maps to the same drop action.
Tap-to-restart is available on touch devices after game over.
Press P to pause and R to restart on keyboard devices.

Scoring Model

Score grows from successfully placed overlap width.
Near-perfect placements receive a fixed bonus reward.
Narrow stacks raise risk by reducing future overlap margin.

Difficulty Model

Speed increases in steps as placed block count rises.
Rules remain constant while reaction windows shrink.
Camera follows tower growth to preserve visibility.

Detailed Gameplay Reference

This section explains exactly how the current gameplay model behaves.

Placement Evaluation

When you drop a block, the system calculates horizontal overlap against the top block. If overlap is below the minimum threshold, the run ends. Otherwise, the overlap slice becomes the next live block.

Tower Stability Logic

Every imperfect drop reduces width. Reduced width lowers your tolerance for future timing errors. Strong runs keep width high for longer and support deeper score climbs.

Performance Across Devices

Canvas dimensions are recalculated on resize and orientation change. This keeps gameplay readable on small mobile screens and balanced on tablet landscape mode.

Session Persistence

Best score is stored in local browser storage only. Clearing browser storage resets the local best-score value.

Device Guide

Best-practice setup for smooth play quality on different screen categories.

Mobile Portrait

Hold device vertically for maximum vertical visibility. Use thumb taps with a steady rhythm. Restart is available by tap after game over.

Mobile Landscape

Landscape uses a compressed height ratio to keep HUD and tower visible without clipping. Tap near the center area for consistent drop timing.

Tablet + Desktop

Larger viewports provide broader block travel visibility. Combine pointer control with keyboard shortcuts for pause and quick restart management.

Advanced Strategy Notes

Use these model-specific patterns to improve consistency at higher speeds.

Timing Window Discipline

At low levels, focus on repeatable timing cadence rather than aggressive perfect-hunt behavior. Controlled average placements usually outscore inconsistent high-risk attempts.

Width Preservation Priority

Protect width during early and mid rounds. A wide base creates tolerance buffer for late-level speed spikes and extends survival potential.

Pause As A Tactical Tool

Use pause to reset your rhythm when tension rises. Resuming with stable timing often prevents streak-ending mistakes.

Failure Analysis

When a run ends, check whether it was caused by late release, early release, or narrow-width pressure. Improving one failure type per session gives faster long-term gains.
