Bloxxchain is a single and multiplayer game where build solid lines by matching different pieces to each other.
Every half second a piece is moved down which needs to be positioned in the best way possible.
The game pieces, so called "bloxx", are steered via the keyboard:
- Keys
- Game impact
- A key (alt arrow left)
- Move bloxx to left
- D key (alt arrow right)
- Move bloxx to right
- W key (alt arrow up)
- bloxx to rotate
- S key (alt arrow down)
- Move bloxx one step down
- Space
- Move bloxx to the bottom
In order to use th arrow key, You need to select Your preferences in the account menu.
The game can be run single play or multiplayer. For both different leaderboards are established and different rules apply.
Below the different setups.
Single player mode
The single player mode is really a start area, where You can train Your bloxxchain skills. You cannot throw spells,
but - we know You like challenges - You will be subject to those. These are the spells You need to care for:
Spells
- Joker
- Impact
- MONO
- Each player will get over 60 down moves the same piece. As the area is 30 squares deep that could
be in the beginning twice the same. But if You have a shorter field it could be reiterated much more often...
- WALL
- All users get their wall lifted by a row in black. You can throw this as often as You want.
- LANDMINE
- A mine is dropped and creates holes in established rows with a random pattern.
- AIRMINE
- A mine is dropped and will create black bloxx in the air. This is a very nasty spell and will
only work from row 15 onwards... So this one makes sense if especially in the beginning of the game, when there is enough air available.
- IMMUNE
- For the next 30 movements You live in peace and You cannot be impacted by any of the spells
Multiplayer mode
