'BLOKES on BLOCKS!' Free Update Out Now

Today marks the launch of a substantial free update for the popular party game 'BLOKES on BLOCKS!' on both Nintendo Switch and Steam, developed by CRAFTS&MEISTER, based in Osaka. The update introduces a wealth of new content, including two new stages, three new battle rules, new costumes, accessories, and an exciting new item. This update aims to significantly enhance gameplay and invites both new and seasoned players to enjoy the fresh features.

New Stages and Enhanced Gameplay

The update adds two thrilling new stages: Imperial Crater and Walrus Moustache Island. Each stage is uniquely designed with engaging gimmicks that amplify the excitement of competition.

1. Imperial Crater Stage
This stage is surrounded by boiling lava, adding a dangerous twist as dragon statues launch fireballs. These fireballs turn the area upon impact into molten lava, ramping up the stakes as players must avoid damage while navigating the perilous terrain.

2. Walrus Moustache Island Stage
A snowy wonderland where players can craft snowballs on snow-covered patches. Engage in epic snowball fights, and if powered up, throw them at opponents to encase them in snowman-like formations.

These stages offer distinct gameplay experiences enhanced by their dynamic environmental challenges, making battles more unpredictable.

Three New Battle Rules

In addition to the existing gameplay mechanics, players can now experience three new rules that expand the strategic depth of engagements:

• - Hot Zone: Players must compete for control over a designated area, with the winner being the one who can maintain dominance.
• - Crown Hold: This rule sees players grabbing crowns as they battle fiercely for supremacy, exchanging roles as pursuers and evaders.
• - Color Domination: Players are assigned specific colors, and by moving and attacking, they can alter blocks to match their designated colors, aiming to be the one who colors the entire stage.

These new rules maintain the game's simple controls while offering fresh challenges and tactical depth, a perfect fit for quick matches.

Exciting New Items and Customization Options

The update also introduces the Spark Charge, an electrifying new item that can knock down nearby opponents after charging for a short time. Best of all, this item can transform into a more powerful lightning strike, setting the stage for dramatic comebacks. Moreover, players can now enjoy an expanded selection of costumes and accessories, enhancing the customization of their characters even further.
