BLOCKROT Live

Fill a row. Fill a column. Watch it clear. Then it starts to rot. BLOCKROT is a block puzzle with a roguelike underneath it and something worse underneath that. Every depth you survive makes the board more hostile: rot that spreads through your own blocks, ash that lines clear around instead of removing, columns taken from you permanently. And a Watcher that pays attention. THE WATCHER It is not scenery. It has attention, it rises when you place and falls when you clear, and it takes turns. It stares and demands a line. It marks cells and pays you for filling them. It reaches a hand across the board one cell at a time, rotting everything it touches — and you can see every cell it will take before it takes them. Deep enough, it reaches into your hand and removes a piece. BUILD SOMETHING Beat each depth's score quota by building a multiplier, not by surviving. Chips from what you cleared, mult from what you built, and the product slamming into your score. Every term is counted out one at a time so you can see exactly where a number came from, and long clearing streaks stop adding to your multiplier and start multiplying it. Take cards that change the rules rather than the numbers: make rot score triple, make single lines pay nothing and doubles pay quadruple, make your combo never reset. CARVE THE BOARD Sigils are permanent and spatial. Choose a row or a column and bless it forever: double every clear along it, forbid rot from taking hold, ward it against the Watcher's reach. Cross two and the intersection pays quadruple. TAKE A CURSE Curses pay you up front and multiply every shard for the rest of the run. They are how big scores happen. They are also how runs end. 28 OMENS One rolls every depth and lasts exactly that depth. Fog hides your hand until you lift a piece. The Mirror deals you the same piece three times. The Hollow puts a piece in your hand that is not real. A Kindness does nothing at all, which is worse. A DAILY DESCENT The date is the seed. Everyone who plays today gets the same pieces in the same order, the same omens, the same offering — with none of your upgrades to help. FIVE TIERS Each unlocks by how deep you have actually gone. The last one is called The Maw. - No internet needed. No account. No data collected. - No ads. No purchases. The whole game, once. - Jump scares, flashing and screen shake can each be turned off, and everything still works with them off. It remembers how many times you have come back.
