Cascade Bricks is a pixel puzzle game that features distinctive cascade and gravity mechanics. It's like an upgraded Tetris with chain reactions: when you eliminate a row, the blocks above tumble down, potentially creating new complete lines. Each cascade boosts your score multiplier — it can reach x2, x3, x4, and soar up to the legendary x20! Special moves like T-Spin and other rotations offer substantial rewards.
The game offers two modes:
* Zen mode for relaxed gameplay without a timer. Ideal for enjoying the process and unlocking backgrounds for records and cascades.
* Competitive mode where pieces drop automatically, the pace quickens, and gray obstacle lines emerge from below. At 10,000+ points, every 5th piece becomes invisible! After a loss, you can watch an ad to continue. Achieve records in this mode to unlock 7 block skins (from classic to icy) and choose from 8 backgrounds — from space to hell. Compare your scores with friends through leaderboards.
How to play
On the desktop: use ← and → to move, ↑ to rotate normally, Z for counter-clockwise rotation, Space to drop quickly, Esc to pause, and H to hold a piece. Keep a key pressed for continuous action.
On a phone in portrait mode: tap the screen to rotate, swipe left or right to move, drag down to drop, and swipe up to hold. Press and hold with your finger to smoothly move pieces.
In landscape mode on a phone: you'll see buttons on the sides — ↻ for rotation, H for holding, ▼ to drop, and ◄ ▼ ► for movement.
Game modes: Zen mode offers a relaxed experience without a timer, with points awarded for cascades and spins. Competitive mode increases difficulty, adds periodic lines from below, and tracks scores on the leaderboard.
Mechanics: Cascades occur when clearing lines causes pieces to fall and trigger chain reactions (multipliers x2 to x20). Spins are earned for clearing four or more lines in a row. At 10,000 points, every fifth piece shimmers. Holding allows you to save a piece for later use.
