Our take on Blockships
Instead of treating ship construction as preparation before combat, Blockships makes assembly and reassembly part of the fight. Defeated opponents supply new blocks, so destruction changes the battlefield and the surviving ships’ capabilities rather than simply removing players from play.
What is Blockships?
Blockships is a local multiplayer arena game combining block-based construction with arcade shooting.
Players assemble ships from cores, guns, engines, and power cells, then fight opponents to take their blocks and expand or rebuild during combat. Ship size, speed, maneuverability, and firepower each affect the vessel’s strengths and weaknesses. A core must be protected while players choose between pursuing enemies, escaping, ramming, or enlarging their ship. Configurations can be changed repeatedly during battles, allowing different approaches against enemy tactics. The game supports local multiplayer and focuses on fast matches built around constructing, destroying, and reconfiguring ships.
