Description

Bloxs is a single-player, freeware, keyboard controlled, Tetris clone. Initially when the game starts it fills the screen with multiple windows. There is a window with Keyboard help in it, another with the top ten scores, another with game statistics, a look ahead window showing the next block, and an information window with the version and release date in it. Any or all of these can be toggled on/off via the menu bar.

Trivia

The game is free but ...

The author did develop alternate versions, Funef which uses pentominoes and Netbloxs which had a LAN-wide scoreboard. To get either of these games or an update to Bloxs the user was asked to send the developer $20.
