Block Blocker
Title: Block Blocker
Platform: Android
Genre: Frustratingly Fun Platformer
About the Game
Block Blocker is a deliberately frustrating platformer inspired by the infamous Getting Over It. It’s simple to look at but brutally challenging to play, designed to test your patience, reflexes, and determination. The game pays homage to the 70's and 80's arcade and platformer era, blending retro aesthetics with modern design to create a unique and visually pleasing experience.
Glitched Theme: Dungeons & Dragons
The entire game is set within a dungeon, immersing players in a dark, atmospheric world that perfectly aligns with the classic dungeon-crawling experience seen in Dungeons & Dragons. Every level, challenge, and mechanic is designed to capture the essence of adventure, mystery, and danger.
Genesis Theme: One Tool
The block is your only tool—and it’s overpowered. It’s not just a character; it’s your key to solving puzzles, navigating tricky terrain, and overcoming increasingly difficult challenges. The cube is versatile, but mastering it is anything but easy.
Platform: Android
Features:
- Easy Yet Aesthetic Maps: Simple, clean, and visually appealing levels that hide their devilish difficulty.
- Customizable Controls: All controls are relocatable and resizable to suit your playstyle.
- Progressive Difficulty: The game starts simple but becomes tactical and tricky as you progress.
- Inverted Jump Mechanic: The jump button only works when you release your finger, challenging your reflexes and adding to the frustration.
- Retro-Modern Art Style: A blend of retro pixel art and modern design, making the game visually pleasing while keeping the text clear and readable.
- Text-Based Guidance: Pay attention! The game can only be completed if you read the in-game texts carefully.
- Save Location System: Save your progress and resume from your last saved location the next time you play.
- Retro Arcade Music: A nostalgic soundtrack that keeps the experience pleasant, even when the gameplay isn’t.
- Hand-Designed Buttons: Unique, custom-designed controls that add to the game’s charm.
- Timer System: Compete with others by completing levels as fast as possible!
Controls:
- Left – Move left
- Right – Move right
- Down – Apply downward force
- Jump – A tricky mechanic that activates when you release the button
Edit: Now it has a BlockVenture mode that is soothing and easy to play—without the jump button frustration. This mode features three different levels, each with unique tilemaps and varying difficulties. Plus, the jump button in this mode works perfectly, making it a more relaxed alternative to the main game
A Test of Patience and Skill
Block Blocker is designed to look simple but play hard. It’s frustratingly addictive, pushing you to question your existence while keeping you hooked with its retro-modern charm. The game is a tribute to the golden era of arcade and platformer games, with a modern twist that makes it both nostalgic and fresh.
If you’re a fan of Getting Over It or enjoy games that test your patience and skill, this is the game for you. Can you conquer the cube and beat the clock?
ADD ONS:
1. A two mode game , block dash and blockventure.
2. Block Dash - Time Trial.
3. BlockVenture - Career Mode with 5 levels (only 3 designed rn).
4. A new system that stores the best time in the time trial.
P.S. Currently, development is on hold as the game runs on an older version of Unity. With Unity 6 now available and several new project ideas in the works, I’ve decided to shift focus. Originally planned to have five levels in BlockVenture, the mode now remains at three due to these changes.
