Owner

Block Drop is an original twist inspired by Tetris. Use original names, art and level designs, nothing copied from the original.

Core mechanics

Stack falling 7-piece tetrominoes to clear lines. Includes hold slot, next-piece preview (3), 7-bag randomizer, ghost piece, SRS-style rotation with wall kicks.

Controls

Left/Right move (DAS/ARR), Down soft drop, Space hard drop, Up/X rotate CW, Z rotate CCW, C/Shift hold; touch gestures; gamepad.

Difficulty curve

Gravity speeds up every 10 lines (level curve table); lock delay shortens at high levels.

Ad reward

Clear the bottom three rows once per game. Limited per run by the shell's continue rules and verified by the reward server.

Art needs

7 piece colors/skins, board frame, line-clear flash, level-up effect.

Acceptance criteria

Playable in the shell through games/block-drop/manifest.json
Keyboard, touch and gamepad controls work
Difficulty ramps as described and is tuned for a fair first 2 minutes
Score, game over and local high scores integrated
Ad reward hook (onReward) implemented and tested with the placeholder provider
Sound effects respect mute and volume
Art assets in place (placeholder shapes acceptable until the art issue lands)
Runs at 60 fps on a mid-range phone
