So, you’ve been bitten by the Block Blast bug. You've cleared a few lines, you've survived a few high-speed rounds, but now you're ready to get serious. You want to see your name at the top of the leaderboard and leave your friends' scores in the dust. Welcome, competitor. It’s time to move beyond casual play and start thinking like a Block Blast pro.

First rule of high-score chasing: combos are king. Clearing single lines is for survival, but clearing multiple lines at once (Doubles, Triples, and the legendary four-line "Blast") is where the big points are. This means you need to learn the art of "stacking." Intentionally build your blocks high on the sides, leaving a single column open for that precious long bar. It’s risky—one wrong piece can end your game—but the point multiplier is absolutely worth it.

Next, master your power-ups. Don't just use them randomly. Save game-changing bombs for when your board is over 75% full and you're in real trouble. Understand what each power-up does and use it with purpose. Also, speed is your friend, but control is your master. ...
... As the game speeds up, don’t panic. Train your eyes to quickly identify the best spot, not just the first available one. It's better to take a split second longer to make the right move than to rush and create a hole you can't fill. Practice, stay calm under pressure, and always be thinking about that next big combo. The top of the leaderboard is waiting.
