About This Game

The illegitimate love child of Space Invaders and Tetris.

Blockships is a game about building the biggest baddest ship by blasting your buddies’ to bits and stealing their blocks – a local multiplayer party-arena game that challenges you to strike the right balance between speed, power, maneuverability, and of course fun! Build, blast, and rebuild your ship – all in the heat of battle.

“Why do do the bad guys always drop power ups?” Surely blasting to victory using the fallen remnants of your defeated foes would be more fun! Build up your core to take down enemy ships. Grab guns to Blast ’em to bits, add Engines to speed up and give them the slip – or ram them head on and expose their weaknesses. Or bolster your ship with Power Cells and grow to enormous size. Protect your Core at all costs!

Each ship configuration has strengths and weaknesses and is almost infinitely reconfigurable. Experiment with multiple different strategies and rapid reconfigurations to overcome enemy tactics. Beat their firepower with speed, and their speed with size in an infinite number of ship combinations – sometimes its full speed ahead, sometimes its cut and run, and victory can be yours balanced on the barrel of a Gun.

Reviews

“If you have ever been shooting a friend’s spaceship and been all, ‘Hey! I wish I could steal the chunks I just shot off Trevor’s ship, and add them to my own ship,’ generally you just have to accept that you can’t do that. Well, accept no more. Enter… BLOCKSHIPS.”
Tycho – Penny Arcade

“With so many different blocks and strategies, Blockships is a super-fun party game which can be played over and over again. It is extremely easy to learn to play but hard to master, especially when you play against talented friends.”
Jupiter Hadley – Big Boss Battle
