Blicblock is a game your Sims in The Sims 4 can play on the computer. I thought it would be fun to recreate the game. Our Sims shouldn't have all the fun!
BlickblockJS is built using AngularJS, Bower, Yeoman, and Twitter Bootstrap.
- Looks like Tetris meets Bejeweled: colored blocks fall down. Combine them into a tetromino and the tetromino disappears.
- Disappearing tetrominos cause blocks on top of them to fall, which can cause cascades of disappearing tetrominos.
- If the screen fills up and no more blocks can fall, game over.
- Five blocks across, seven tall
- Colors: magenta, yellow, green, blue. Note: since the game board is five blocks wide, to make the game have any challenge at all, there need to be >5 colors of blocks.
