Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long or varied campaign may find five levels a narrow structure.
- Those who prefer a steady difficulty curve may find the jump from the first two levels to later stages abrupt.
- Players looking for language study beyond words shown after a loss may find the learning format limited.
Our take on Approaching Blocks
The short level structure keeps the focus on timed dodging, but it leaves little room for a broader progression arc. Language exposure is also tied to losing a run, so players seeking a separate study mode may find the format restrictive.
What is Approaching Blocks?
Approach moving blocks and dodge them to progress through five levels.
Each level requires surviving for 100 seconds. The first two levels are described as simple, while the difficulty rises from the third. After a loss, the game displays words in a foreign language. It includes 13 dictionaries, achievements, and trading cards.
