Wacky Fun Versus Mode is now available!

A special wacky and fun Versus Mode is now available for Drop It: Block Paradise for Steam players. This adds a fun mode where you and a friend are pitted against each other to see who will get 10 points first. You can see a nice gameplay video of the game mode in action to see what it will be like. As you destroy blocks, they will appear on your opponents field to hinder them and vise versa. The goal is to have your Star safely on the ground first, but sometimes it's better to let your opponent fail and be knocked out instead. So grab a friend & two controllers and play a round! This update also updates the game with 15 brand new Bonus Levels. Also a big update that adds 2 new game mechanics to the game: Ice blocks and Wind elements. This should make things extra fun! This new update also now makes the game fully possible in Co-Op. So you and a buddy and can play together trying to solve the levels. Drop It: Block Paradise contains over 200 Levels, 90 Bonus Levels, Versus Mode, Online Levels created from other players like you, and more! [previewyoutube=pLhwbRx5Fp8;full][/previewyoutube]

Leaderboards, New Bonus Levels & New Achievements!


Welcome to the Leaderboard Update! This new update brings about several new changes, including 5 brand new Bonus Levels, 5 brand new Achievements as well of course the Leaderboards. These Leaderboard will bring about a healthy competitiveness to the game. As you play the various levels, you will start to earn points and rank up. These points are earned depending on the level you played, the harder the level, the more points you will earn. Go for #1! Of course it wouldn't be a fun update without new Bonus Levels. You can see one of them below. Don't forget to do all the Bonus Levels, as this will play into the new Achievements the game has to offer.

Update Notes for March 31st, 2023 - Version 2.2.1

Version 2.2.1 is now live! This update brings various improvements and performance updates to the game along with 2 major changes: Sound Settings Sound Settings can now be independently changed for Music / Sound Effects. So if you wish to turn down or off the Music but keep the Sound Effects, you can now do it. Native Controller Support! Our puzzle game now natively supports controllers. This means you can fully use your controller to play the game. It's fully integrated for the Xbox Controller, Nintendo Pro Controller and Playstation Controllers. Any generic gamepad controller should hopefully work as well out of the box. If it doesn't, please let me know in the Steam Discussions. Re-mapping a controller to mimic a Xbox controller might also help. If you happen to mapped a controller for the game to imitate Keyboard + Mouse settings, you will want to remove that and set it back to normal Gamepad mode. While the game is now fully Gamepad compatible. You will still need access to a Keyboard/Mouse to use any Input Text fields. These are mainly in the Level Editor & Block Database when naming or searching for a level. The main game itself won't require one.

Drop It: Block Paradise - Now Live!

After a lot of work, the Steam version of our game, Drop It: Block Paradise, is now live! Originally designed and made for the Nintendo Wii U eShop many years ago, this game has been worked on a lot over the last few months and years to add tons of features and improvements to it. Not to mention all the new content added to the game. In fact, we've been working on this game, on and off, for nearly 8 years now. Basic rundown the of the features of the game:

  • 5 Unique Worlds
  • 150 Levels to Challenge your Wits!
  • Special unlocks: Achievements, Music & Art
  • Bonus Levels: 50+ Brand New Levels
  • Chaining: A new way to complete levels with quick succession
  • Level Editor: Create and share your own unique levels with others!
  • Block Database: Play more levels online from around the world
  • Cross Place & Cloud Saves support
If you happen to own the game on Xbox One / Xbox Series consoles, you can continue where you left off with the Upload / Download Saves option. Also, although the game doesn't directly support a controller, I did share a Xbox Controller mapping of the game that you can use to help get started that helps get it close to the Xbox version of the game. I look forward to working on the game and adding new things. I already have ideas on new game mechanics and modes that could possibly be added.
