The gameplay idea of Block Arena reminded me very much of the minigame 'Hexagon' in Fall Guys. Players walk upon multiple levels of blocks and upon every contact the block below the player breaks. The goal is to be the player who survives the longest. In contrast to Fall Guys, Block Arena has Pixel graphics, which is not going to appeal to everybody (it for example doesn't appeal to me). Block Arena offers a couple of unique twists to the falling blocks formula. There are options for super jumps, which can allow you to jump back on a higher floor level, and there is also a short speed boost ability, which allows players to run quicker and potentially cut off other players (There is also a grappling hook ability, that only works in combination with the super jump). All abilities require stamina, which replenishes itself.
This game offers customizability for visuals and sound, but not controls. Controls are simple however and work decently well.
Block arena can only be played online and there are sadly only 3 maps in rotation. These 3 maps are not bad, but the game could really use some additional content. The lack of players is also definitely a problem. At least the game shows you in the main menu how many other people are online, so that you don't waste your time.
That you can barely play Block Arena is a shame, but the gameplay and idea is not bad and since it is a free game, it gets a recommendation from my side.
5.5/10
