Ascent: Reverse Block Puzzle

Ascent is a block puzzle played in reverse. Each piece starts on a launch pad under the board. You aim it, launch it, and it flies up until it hits the ceiling or the blocks already stacked there. Fill a row of 10 to clear it. After every clear, reverse gravity pulls the blocks below up into the gap. That rise can complete more rows, so one good launch can set off a chain of cascades. HOW TO PLAY - Drag to move the piece left or right. - Tap ROTATE to turn it, and LAUNCH to send it up. - Clear full rows to score, and set up the next clear as you go. - If a block reaches the floor, the run is over. TWO MODES - Rush: a red line comes down from the top and pushes your stack toward the floor, faster over time. Every clear pushes it back up. - Zen: the red line stays at the top and there is no clock. Stack and clear at your own pace. FEATURES - A 10 by 20 board and 10 piece shapes, from 2 to 4 blocks each - See the next 5 pieces so you can plan your stack - Multi-row clears score more, and clearing again within 2 seconds raises your combo multiplier - In Rush, big clears and combos push the red line back further - Online leaderboards for Rush and Zen: pick a name once, no account or sign-in - Play offline. The leaderboard needs a connection and takes your best score on your next online run - A short interactive tutorial on your first run - Particles, screen shake and a short freeze-frame on every clear - Sound effects with a mute button - Free to play, supported by ads WHY IT WORKS AS A BRAIN GAME Every launch is a small planning puzzle: which column, which rotation, and which row you are setting up for the next clear. In Rush you plan with the red line closing in. In Zen you can take all the time you want. If you like block puzzles, stacking games and arcade puzzles, try the one where the stack builds from the top down.
