Christmas Blocks: Holiday Falling Block Puzzle

Rotate, drop and clear rows under the holiday lights

Gift-wrapped pieces tumble down a well framed by candy canes in Christmas Blocks, a falling-block puzzle with Santa and a snowy forest looking on. Slide and rotate each piece so it fits the stack below, and any row you fill from edge to edge vanishes for points. A preview of the next four pieces and a swap box for holding one back help you plan, but leave gaps and the pile creeps toward the top.

How to play Christmas Blocks

A new gift-box piece drops into the well, with the next four waiting in the preview on the right.
Move it sideways and rotate it either way until it lines up with the gaps below.
Fill a complete row to clear it, while the panel keeps count of your score, lines, level and combo.
Press Ctrl to tuck the falling piece into the swap box and bring it back when it fits better.
The game ends when the stack reaches the top and a new piece has no room to enter.

Controls

`Left / Right arrows`	Move the piece sideways
`Up arrow or X / Z`	Rotate clockwise / counterclockwise
`Down arrow / Space`	Drop faster / drop and lock at once
`Ctrl / P`	Swap into the hold box / pause

Tips to play better

Keep one column open against a side wall; a long straight piece dropped into it can clear several rows together.
Park an awkward piece in the swap box instead of forcing it into a spot that leaves holes.
Read the preview of upcoming pieces before placing the current one, so you leave room for what comes next.
Once the speed picks up, take easy single-row clears instead of holding out for a big one.
