About DD Blocky

DD Blocky is a block puzzle played on a single board. Shapes appear for you to place, and you drag and drop each one into an open spot, fitting them together so that rows and columns fill up completely. The shapes are modelled on the pieces of classic falling-block games, so their outlines will look familiar, but here nothing falls: you decide exactly where each one goes.

It is a calm, single-player game meant to give your mind a workout, rated for players aged 8 and up. Because every placement is your own choice, the challenge is planning ahead and keeping room on the board for the shapes still to come. The board is framed in portrait for a phone held straight up, and it works with a mouse on a computer or touch on a phone.

How to play DD Blocky

Objective

Place every shape on the board so that rows and columns fill up completely, keeping enough open space to fit the pieces still to come.

Controls

Desktop

  • Mouse: drag a shape and drop it onto the puzzle board

Mobile

  • Touch: drag a shape and drop it onto the puzzle board

Getting started

  1. Open the board on a computer, or on a phone held straight up to match the portrait grid.
  2. Look at the shapes on offer and find an open area of the board where one fits.
  3. Drag the shape onto the board and drop it in place, lining it up with blocks already there.
  4. Keep placing shapes to complete rows and columns, and leave room for the awkward pieces.

Tips

  • Keep a long open lane somewhere on the board; the straight shapes need room, and a board full of single gaps is hard to use.
  • Think one placement ahead: before dropping a shape, check whether it blocks a spot another shape would fill perfectly.
  • Work toward rows and columns at once, since a well-placed shape can help complete a line in each direction.
