Tired of block puzzle games that interrupt every move with a 30-second ad? Oriens Blocks is the genre, stripped of the noise. 8x8 grid, 30 hand-tuned shapes, satisfying line clears, real streak combos — and the only ads are optional ones you can lift forever with a $0.99/week subscription.
HOW TO PLAY
1. You always have three blocks ready in the tray at the bottom of the screen.
2. Drag a block onto the 8x8 grid — the cells light up green where it fits, red where it doesn't.
3. Fill a full row or column and it clears, freeing up space for bigger combos.
4. Clear multiple lines back-to-back to build a streak — each chain multiplies your score.
5. The game ends when none of your three remaining blocks fit. Beat your best and start again.
KEY FEATURES
• 8x8 block puzzle grid — tighter than 10x10 lookalikes, more strategic than classic 1010-style games

WHY ORIENS BLOCKS

The puzzle stands on its own. The streak combo system gives a strategic ceiling, and you can sit with a board for as long as you want.
