## Description

Play with blocks like it's 1989! A handheld brick puzzle game with a dot-matrix display, retro sound effects, and that satisfying feeling of getting better without noticing.

Block 89 is designed around flow - the difficulty rises gradually across 20 levels, keeping you in that sweet spot where the challenge matches your skill. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.

Features:
- Dot-matrix LCD screen with authentic pixel rendering
- Light and dark mode (monochrome inverted, a minimal masterpiece)
- 8-bit sound effects
- 10 different block shapes on a 16×16 grid
- 20 levels of progressively increasing difficulty
- GIF replay sharing - show off your best games
- No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No internet required. Just the game.

Score points by completing lines with blocks. Simple - but it gets difficult quickly.

Oh, and yes: this is the same guy that brought you Snake '97.

Cheers from Amsterdam,
Willem.
