What are the charms of falling block games? Let’s explore together how to express these charms through Scratch!
The charms of falling block games include the exhilaration of controlling falling blocks at high speed to score points, and the simplicity of the rules that allow for easy and accessible gameplay.
To express the charms of falling block games through Scratch, you could create a game where blocks fall vertically and players must move them left and right to create complete rows. When a row is completed, it disappears and points are awarded. The speed of the falling blocks can be gradually increased to increase the difficulty of the game.
Other ways to express the charms of falling block games through Scratch might include adding background music and sound effects to enhance the atmosphere and mood of the game.
There are many ways to express the charms of falling block games through Scratch, but no matter what method you choose, you can capture the exhilaration of controlling falling blocks at high speed to score points, and the simplicity of the rules that allow for easy and accessible gameplay.

This is a game where you must dodge falling blocks that come down in a regular rhythm. Use the left and right arrow keys to move between the five lanes, and if you can avoid the blocks for a certain amount of time, the level will increase and the blocks will fall faster. At first, focus on simply dodging and avoiding the blocks! Once you get used to it, try touching the falling blocks and immediately dodging them. If you time it right, you’ll get bonus points, so make good use of this to aim for a high score. The element of not only avoiding the blocks but also touching and dodging them (with an instant loss if you mistime it) adds a nice accent to the game.

In this game, the elevator goes out of control and plummets at an incredible speed. The sense of velocity is really thrilling. Spikes, bubbles, and coins (yellow circles) fall from above, and your goal is to collect the coins while dodging the spikes and bubbles. Interestingly, it might seem like you’re going up instead of falling. There is a time limit of 30 seconds. The more you play, the better your timing and reflexes become, so try challenging yourself multiple times.

A game in which you keep catching falling ice cream with a cone. This game is simple and easy to use as an example of a falling game. The super-simplicity of this game almost makes it the origin of falling games, and that’s why I recommend this. I think people who are thinking of making falling games should take a look inside of this project first. There is no need to explain “how to use”, it’s that simple. Every once in a while, a black ice cream comes falling and that one’s a…, uh, yeah that’s obviously what it is!
