Blockcharted: Leap or Fall in Fast-Paced Platformer

- Blockcharted blends Tetris and Super Meat Boy with retro flair - Navigate falling blocks while adapting to escalating speed - Utilize power-ups to evade crushing blocks and escape rising lava in Inferno mode

What happens when you combine Tetris' rapid puzzle mechanics with Super Meat Boy's punishing platforming? You get Blockcharted - a nightmarish vision where getting trapped under falling blocks becomes a brutal reality.

Developed solely by Jimmy Nollet, this free game delivers exactly this tense experience. Players must jump across descending blocks while avoiding other falling shapes that threaten to flatten them. As you progress, the pace intensifies until one mistimed leap spells your doom.

Thankfully, you're not entirely defenseless. Various power-ups provide temporary relief: slow time for precise maneuvers, freeze blocks to create safe zones, or instantly teleport away from danger.

Carving a Path The game features two distinct modes. Classic mode challenges players to ascend endlessly, while Inferno mode introduces rising lava that forces constant upward movement. Even platformer skeptics will find satisfying puzzle elements in this chaotic test of reflexes.

Deceptively upbeat chiptune music and colorful pixel art accompany the frantic gameplay. As a free title, Blockcharted costs nothing but your patience - a small price for this intense block-dodging platformer.
