About Avoid Blocks
Avoid Blocks is a survival dodging game with a risk-reward meter. Safe close calls charge Phase Shift, so aggressive positioning creates both more score and a defensive resource for later danger.
How to Play Avoid Blocks
1Move horizontally with pointer, touch, A/D or the arrow keys.
2Avoid direct collision with falling blocks.
3Pass close to blocks to earn Near Miss bonuses and charge Phase Shift.
4At 100% charge, press Phase or Space to gain about 1.25 seconds of collision immunity.
Avoid Blocks Rules
- A normal safe pass gives 1 point.
- Near Misses give bonus points and add 25% Phase Shift charge.
- A collision ends the run unless Phase Shift is currently active.

Avoid Blocks Game Mechanics
Objective
Move the player horizontally to avoid falling blocks and earn one point each time a block safely passes off the bottom.
Round End
Any collision between the player square and a falling block ends the run immediately.
- Passing very close to a block without colliding counts as a Near Miss and charges Phase Shift by 25%.
- At 100% charge, Phase Shift can be activated for about 1.25 seconds of collision immunity.
- Near Misses score more than ordinary safe passes and build a visible streak.
- Falling-block speed and spawn pressure increase as score raises the level.
- Best score is saved in localStorage under ab-best.
Tips & Strategies
- Do not spend Phase Shift immediately at 100%; hold it until overlapping blocks remove your normal escape path.
- Near Misses are easiest beside narrower blocks rather than wide barriers.
