Top 3 tips to boost your score on Block Blast! - Apple's most downloaded game

Block Blast! is a simple yet addictive mobile game that has taken the world by storm - and some players are racking up truly mind-blowing scores on it

Block Blast! ranks amongst the globe's most popular mobile games. Data from singular.net reveals it topped Apple device downloads this year, whilst securing second place on Android - trailing only the worldwide phenomenon Roblox.


The gameplay mechanics are straightforward - simply form lines using blocks to clear them. However, achieving truly enormous scores requires more strategic thinking than merely dragging blocks to the nearest available space.


A Reddit contributor, No-Engineer7379, shared valuable strategies for maximising scores in the game. They boasted a personal best of 77,000 points, which is certainly remarkable - though it pales compared to the world record holder's staggering achievement of 828,267,544.


Combos are important

Combinations prove crucial, reports the Mirror.

Building substantial scores relies heavily on combos, accomplished by eliminating multiple lines or rows simultaneously. No-Engineer7379 explained: "Always try to build your combo.

"I feel like people don't realise you actually have to think in this game. Takes me a while to place even the three blocks I get because I neeed to hold my combo or else I lose.."


They recommended consistently clearing lines with the third block positioned during combo sequences, noting: "This way you can visually see the blocks you have and be able to use two of them before making a line."

Think carefully about where you place your blocks

No-Engineer7379 emphasised the importance of strategic thinking in Block Blast!, advising players to take their time when deciding on block placement. They shared: "It takes me at least two minutes to think about where I will put my blocks before placing them when you get above 20K. Don't let it stun you from playing though, it's not too bad."

Practice makes perfect

The mantra 'practice makes perfect' holds true according to No-Engineer7379, who explained that persistence leads to higher scores. "The higher score you get, the higher you can get," they said.

"You cannot just score 100k on one try."

They recounted their own progress as evidence of improvement through practice: "At first my best was 6k, then 9k, then 14k, then 22k, then 77k. As you can see it gets easier to score higher the more you practice."

For those keen to give it a go, Block Blast! is available at no cost on both Apple and Android devices.
