How the Block Blast Combo Math Works
The Block Blast scoring formula has three components. First, every cell you drop earns one placement point — a small but reliable baseline that rewards you for playing at all. Second, each row or column you complete on that placement awards ten points; because rows and columns count independently, a single piece that closes one row and one column earns twenty points before any bonus is applied. Third, and this is where the game gets interesting, any placement that clears more than one line at once triggers a combo bonus of fifteen points per extra line. Clearing two lines pays 20 + 15 = 35 combo-relevant points; clearing three lines pays 30 + 30 = 60; clearing four pays 40 + 45 = 85. The exponential-feeling curve is actually linear — fifteen extra points for every additional simultaneous line — but it feels dramatic because two-line and three-line combos are so much harder to set up than singles. That difficulty is exactly what our high score guide teaches you to overcome.
