Block Burst Strategy Tips
- Keep the board as flat and low as possible — avoid creating tall columns.
- Always leave one column open on the right side for the I-piece (TETRIS) opportunity.
- Use the Hold piece strategically — save the I-piece for a TETRIS moment.
- Use Ghost piece to place blocks precisely, especially at higher speeds.
- On higher levels, focus on 1-2 line clears to stay alive rather than going for TETRIS.
- Combo chains give massive bonus points — try to clear 2+ lines every turn!
