Bloxeed is an adrenaline-pumping variant of Tetris, recommended for experienced Tetris players. Like in Tetris, the object of the game is fit in falling building blocks to complete as many lines of blocks as possible, without having the blocks stack up to the top of the play screen.
However, in Bloxeed, the blocks already start falling at mid-speed in the beginning. There is a warning meter next to your play screen that keeps increasing, and when it's full, a new incomplete line of blocks will rise from the bottom and raise all the blocks above it. To make things even more exciting, the game just keeps getting faster over time. At level 10, the blocks go unbelievably fast, but then it starts back to "level 1" speed at level 11. But then it only keeps getting as fast as it can from thereon. This game appears to be endless.
To your advantage, not only can you pull down on the joystick to drop each falling block, but you can quicky pull left and right on the joystick to quickly slam the blocks left and right at "drop" speed. This is very useful in a fast Tetris game like this. However, you can rotate a block in only one direction--clockwise, instead of clockwise or counterclockwise.
Some blocks may have special bonus blocks: S for satellite, F for Flicky, B for bomb, 16 for 16-ton weight, and 4 for erase 4 lines. If you complete a line with one of those blocks in it, you get the special power and a big point bonus.
The Satellite, which descends slowly until it hits the ground in the end, lets you shoot single blocks from above. If you shoot them all, you get a special bonus.
Flicky, the Sega bluebird, drops single blocks, so that you can complete lines with great ease. If you manage to complete a line with just Flicky's blocks on an empty screen, you get a big bonus for that line.
The bomb will destroy the blocks around the area where it is dropped.
The 16-ton weight is three columns wide and will destroy that many entire columns of blocks that it lands on.
The "4" block wipes 4 every other lines off the screen for you (kind of like an auto-Tetris), thus lowering the altitude of the blocks.
There is also a VS. mode, where two players can fight each other in the fast-paced Bloxeed environment. If a player completes more than two lines at once, he or she pushes that many lines up on the opponent's screen, raising the altitude of the opponent's blocks. Also, the opponent's current block is tossed out, making the opponent use another one. The objective of VS. mode is to use this attack to make the other opponent lose.
