About

Play with blocks like it's 1989! A handheld brick puzzle game with a dot-matrix display, retro sound effects, and that satisfying feeling of getting better without noticing. Block 89 is designed around flow - the difficulty rises gradually across 20 levels, keeping you in that sweet spot where the challenge matches your skill. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Features: - Dot-matrix LCD screen with authentic pixel rendering - Light and dark mode (monochrome inverted, a minimal masterpiece) - 8-bit sound effects - 10 different block shapes on a 16×16 grid - 20 levels of progressively increasing difficulty - GIF replay sharing - show off your best games - No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No internet required. Just the game. Score points by completing lines with blocks. Simple - but it gets difficult quickly. Oh, and yes: this is the same guy that brought you Snake '97. Cheers from Amsterdam, Willem.
