Block Blast is a super fun and addictive puzzle game, but if you're like me, you've probably wondered how the scoring actually works. At first, I was just happy clearing lines, but then I saw other players with crazy high scores and I knew I had to figure out their secrets. It turns out, the scoring system is pretty simple, but there are a few tricks to really rack up the points.

The short answer is that you get points for every block you clear, and you get bonus points for clearing multiple lines at once (combos) and for clearing lines in consecutive moves (streaks).

Breaking Down Block Blast Scoring

Let's get into the nitty-gritty of it. Each individual block you clear is worth 10 points. So, if you clear a line of 8 blocks, you get 80 points. It's that simple. But the real points come from combos and streaks.

A combo is when you clear more than one row or column with a single block placement. I had the perfect L-shaped block and it cleared three lines at once. My score shot up! You get a multiplier for each extra line you clear in a combo. So, clearing two lines at once is worth more than clearing one line twice.

Streaks are where the big points are at. A streak happens when you clear at least one line with each of the three blocks you're given in a round. If you can keep a streak going, you'll see your score skyrocket. I once had a streak going for ten rounds straight, and I was amazed at how fast my score was climbing. It takes some planning, but it's totally worth it.

Of course, to keep the game going and get those high scores, you need to be smart about placing your blocks. Always think a few moves ahead and try to set yourself up for combos and streaks. Don't be afraid to leave a single open spot if it means you can clear multiple lines with your next block.
