About Blockships
The illegitimate love child of Space Invaders and Tetris.
Blockships is a game about building the biggest baddest ship by blasting your buddies’ to bits and stealing their blocks - a local multiplayer party-arena game that challenges you to strike the right balance between speed, power, maneuverability, and of course fun! Build, blast, and rebuild your ship - all in the heat of battle.
"Why do do the bad guys always drop power ups?" Surely blasting to victory using the fallen remnants of your defeated foes would be more fun! Build up your core to take down enemy ships. Grab guns to Blast 'em to bits, add Engines to speed up and give them the slip - or ram them head on and expose their weaknesses. Or bolster your ship with Power Cells and grow to enormous size. Protect your Core at all costs!
Each ship configuration has strengths and weaknesses and is almost infinitely reconfigurable. Experiment with multiple different strategies and rapid reconfigurations to overcome enemy tactics. Beat their firepower with speed, and their speed with size in an infinite number of ship combinations - sometimes its full speed ahead, sometimes its cut and run, and victory can be yours balanced on the barrel of a Gun.

I really love this game but it could do a with a new feature because I don't see me wanted to get a friend (until AI are added) the last up to add a crushing wall if you siurving for to long was a a cool up update but none of the other up date have happen up and I know it only £5 but it never be worth more unless the deves add more feature to the game.1 found this helpful
underrated
Comfy build ships game.
This is an incredibly fun game to play with a couple of friends. It is quick and easy to learn and the rounds are fast-paced. A simple game with anyone, whether a serious gamer or new to video games, can pick up easily. Strongly recommended.
