The arcade-style puzzler Pit Blocks 3D has launched today on Steam, itch.io, Humble, and Game Jolt. Puzzle aficionados are in for a few surprises โย like one-of-a-kind, trippy 3D environments and intriguing narratives that are bound to turn some heads!
They Came From Above
Developed by Canadian studio SRM Games, Pit Blocks 3D delivers a welcome twist on traditional Tetris-style gameplay. To start, the action takes place in a number of fully-realized 3D environments: Fantasy, Ice Cave, Painted Forest, Solar System, and Volcano. Each environment features a distinct art style and is rife with minions and bosses that you must vanquish through puzzle-solving. An individual storyline with unlockable content is revealed at the end of every level.
The gameplay is also deceptively simple: Youโll need to stack your bricks on all three axes: X, Y, and Z. Thankfully, the mouse (or gamepad) allows you to view the playfield from literally every angle โย and game modes (Basic, Advanced, and Expert) have a tangible effect on brick sizes and score. You can essentially customize the game down to personal preference โย and the sort of mood you happen to be in.
Pit Blocks 3D goes beyond standard puzzle-solving: Perform at a high level to dodge โice missilesโ fired by minions in the Ice Cave โย and face the Troll and his pal, the fearsome Leviathan, in the Fantasy environment. With more than 20,000 achievements and sheer gameplay variety, Pit Blocks 3D is perfect for a generous break from the chaos of everyday life.
Available on Steam, itch.io, Humble and Game Jolt, Pit Blocks 3D has been featured in a number of outlets โ including VentureBeat, Blueโs News, Invision Game Community, Christ Centered Gamer, Gaming Cypher, and Go To Game.
