About Block Drop
Block Drop is a block stacking puzzle where seven shapes fall one at a time into a ten column well. You can move and rotate each piece as it falls, and any row you fill completely disappears, pulling everything above it down. The speed rises as you level up, so the game tests how tidily you can plan under pressure.
Good players keep the stack flat and leave a single deep column open for the straight piece, which is the only shape that can clear four rows at once. Avoid covered gaps, a hole under a block cannot be cleared until every row above it clears, and holes are what end most games.

- Is Block Drop free?

- What happens when the stack reaches the top?
