Pixtune: Block Puzzle

Drop blocks onto an 8x8 board. Fill a row or a column and it clears,

and every line you clear plays a note.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Pixtune is openly built on Block Blast's rules, and it does not pretend

otherwise. Same 8x8 grid, same three pieces at a time, same no rotation.

If you have played that, you already know how to play this.

What is mine is everything on top of it: the sound, the themes, and the

way the score works.

THE SOUND

The notes are not a sound effect. Each of the ten themes carries its own

instrument, its own scale and its own room. Warm wood and open major on

DAY, glass and long reverb on FROST. Switch the theme and the whole game

sounds different, not just the clears, but every tap, drop and combo.

Clear several lines at once and the notes climb a step at a time. That

is why the scales have no semitone pairs: any combination of notes stays

in tune, whatever order you happen to clear in.

THE SCORE

The combo multiplier grows by the number of lines you clear, not by one

per turn. In Block Blast a double and a single move the counter by the

same amount, even though a double is much harder to set up. Here the

number on screen shows the difference.

HOW IT PLAYS

Three pieces at a time. No rotation, you place what you are given.

Rows and columns both clear.

Keep clearing on consecutive turns to build the combo multiplier.

Empty the board completely for a bonus.

Three continues per run.

THEMES ARE THE REWARD

You start on DAY. The other nine unlock as your best score grows.

NIGHT at 2,000, SAND at 5,000, MINT at 10,000, BLOSSOM at 18,000,

INK at 30,000, BERRY at 48,000, OCEAN at 75,000, EMBER at 110,000,

and FROST at 160,000.

MADE OF MATH

There is not a single image or audio file in this project. Every block,

icon, note and reverb tail is computed at runtime. The pixel art is

drawn in code, the instruments are built from sine waves.

CONTROLS

Mouse or touch. Drag a piece from the tray onto the board.
