New NES puzzle game: Blazing Blocks

The NES has a new block-based puzzle game, Blazing Blocks, by Antoine Fantys of FG Software.

Antoine says “I’ve been recently seeing people playing a very specific puzzle game on their phone on the train, the kind where you make lines by placing blocks on a grid. Upon seeing this, I thought it was a perfect fit for the NES – It could easily pass for a puzzle game made during that era… If it had some nice presentation and less annoying ads between sessions.”

The game is played on a 10 x 10 grid, and you are given a trio of tetris-style shapes to place in the grid. When the blocks form a line, horizontally or vertically then the line disappears. If you’ve played Megacat’s Romeow and Juliecat on the Evercade or Megadrive then you’ll be familiar with this type of game.
