Hi all,
Raining blocks will be removed from the steam store for new downloads. Of course, whoever has it in the library permanently it will still have access.
The reason for the removal is that a bug has surfaced on the game after this many years related to the refresh of the screen that makes the game flicker back and forth every now and then. It's a mix between the engine of the game used and the code not accounting to different refresh rates properly. This is most noticeable now with this many updates on hardware, software and of course, the steam deck.
After reviewing the code, there is not enough of my spare time (this is still a free game after all) to fix it properly for all three OS (Windows, Mac, Unix), and I've decided that is time to let it go.
It was fun and a learning process to work with a platform like steam, but if the game is not playable anymore is for the best.
Thank you all.
PS: You can always take the installation folder outside steam. If it was working for you, it will continue working (leader-boards won't work).
The perfect game when you have little spare time or when you just want to play one fast game before leaving to do something else!
Raining blocks it's a game where you need to avoid the blocks that fall, and which you push and pull to try to escape or survive longer. It has a split screen so you can play against a friend where you can connect same colours blocks to make it's life harder!
Raining blocks has achievements, leader boards and steam cards. It has three game modes (Classic, extended and split screen) with three difficulty modes (easy, normal and hard). With six characters to play, 4 gadgets to use and three bonuses to apply.
