How to play
Element Blocks is a fun block puzzle game in the tradition of classics such as 10x10 and Block Champ, with an elemental twist. Your goal is to make vertical and horizontal lines in the board with the blocks provided. Each line you make will provide you with points, and make the blocks in that line disappear. When you're unable to fit the pieces inside the board, it's game over.

- Block Pieces. Here are your playing pieces. Strategically drag them from this area into the playing field.
The objective of the game is to create vertical and horizontal lines with the blocks, to erase them. Drag the blocks from the left to the right, and fit them inside the board, carefully fitting them in.
When creating a full line, all of the element blocks in your line will match the element that you're placing. The line will then disappear, allowing you to place more blocks.
At times, Stars will appear inside specific blocks. Create lines with these blocks to obtain them.
Boosts
These are helpful items that you can purchase using in-game Stars. You obtain them by playing the game and erasing lines with Stars in them.
Dynamite:
You can use this boost to blow up a 3x3 block area in the board.
Lightning Bolt:
This boost can be used to remove all of the blocks from a specific element off the board.
You can also obtain stars by completing specific tasks, such as obtaining a high enough score. When you do so, your Stats screen will have a warning notification:
When this happens, you have Stars to redeem in your stats. In the following screenshot, there are 14 stars to obtain due to completing enough lines, and 5 Stars to obtain due to completing a specific high score threshold. Click on these areas to receive the stars.
Scoring
Although the Element Blocks game has a scoring system, it functions within its own menu for purposes of star collecting and will not post any scores to the website leaderboard.
