A new game has found its way into the hands of millions of people around the world, inside of schools and at home. This game is known as BlockBlast and has 50 million players with 100 million downloads. This game has similar mechanics to another well known game known, Tetris, where you place blocks to get combos. Tons of people have been playing this game non-stop for the last few months that it has been popular. Although the game was released in 2022, it has recently gained popularity among teenagers. Many parents have been wondering why the game is so popular.
A few reasons why it may be popular is because during a free period or when you feel bored and want to have some fun, a quick easy game is the perfect idea. Positive reinforcement also leads people to play the game for longer as they gain bonuses and high score points the more they play the game, leading them to want to play more levels so they can feel that excitement once again.
However, spending more hours on the game than others could lead to possible problems with the quality of schoolwork if you are too distracted. Addiction is possible.
“I cannot stop playing it, and I find myself playing Block Blast every second I can,” said freshman Nina Zabel.
Some people attempt to beat their high scores in the game, and others discover hacks and ways to cheat in the game. One of these methods is re-opening the app before you lose the game. But most people just play the game to have fun and enjoy themselves without having to play or do something stress-inducing.
Regardless of what you think of the game and how it should be played, it is a well-known and liked game that many people enjoy playing no matter the time. This shows that even though it is a seemingly small game it can have a big impact on people even for the tiniest of reasons.
