Block puzzles are about spatial reasoning: fitting shapes into a grid, clearing lines, and managing space that keeps getting tighter. The genre traces back to Tetris, and has since branched into drag-and-place fitting games, endless grid puzzles, and cosy wood-block variants. The core loop is simple to explain and hard to put down, you're given shapes and a grid, and every placement either sets you up for the next move or boxes you in.

A Makermint version of a block puzzle runs as a 2D game in your browser. Describe the format you want, whether that's a classic falling-block game, a drag-and-place grid, or a hexagonal twist, and Makermint builds a playable version in a few minutes, with the shapes, grid, and line-clearing logic to match. Ask for a hold piece, a faster fall speed, or a new grid shape by chatting, and keep refining it until it plays the way you want.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint what kind of block puzzle you have in mind. A classic falling-block game, a 10x10 drag-and-place puzzle, a hexagonal grid, whatever fits. Plain English is all it takes.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint generates the block shapes, grid logic, and line-clearing mechanics you asked for, along with scoring. Most block puzzles are ready to try within a few minutes.

  3. Play and iterate

    Play the game right away in your browser. Ask for changes in plain language, like "speed up the falling blocks" or "add a hold piece", and try the update immediately.

  4. Publish and share

    When it's ready, publish your block puzzle. You get a link to share with anyone, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to play and remix.
