Game Title: Blockverse: Live Puzzle Wars

Playable Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blockverse-live-puzzle-wars/id6761647232

Platform: iOS (Mobile)

Description: I've spent the last few months building a neon block puzzle game because I got completely put off by mobile games existing only to serve ads, or where bad block pieces slowly kills your run and you can't do anything about it.

I also tried to add some actual combat and survival mechanics to the classic falling-block formula. There's a "Sacrifice Zone." If the game hands you a terrible block, you can drag it to the bottom of the screen and burn it for energy. If you save up enough energy, you get to drop heavy power-ups like a massive explosive core to save yourself from failing.

To keep things stressful, there are "World Shifts." Every 60 seconds, the rules of the board change. Sometimes the drop speed doubles, sometimes the board glitches out, and you have to adapt your strategy on the fly. The World Shifts starts from level 2 and progresses.

Like i said, I hate predatory monetization, so the first 15 levels are completely free to play with zero forced ads. It acts as a free trial, and if you like the haptics and the gameplay, it's just a single, one-time purchase to unlock the remaining levels.

Free to Play Status: [x] Free to play [ ] Demo/Key available [ ] Paid (Allowed only on Tuesdays with [TT] in the title)

Involvement: I am the solo developer.I spent alot of time tweaking the haptics and screen shake.
