BlockZ is a brand new puzzle game for the ZX Spectrum.
Move the Blocks around the screen but they can only move in the direction(s) shown on the block. If a block comes to rest touching one or more blocks then they will disappear. Make all the blocks disappear against the clock to complete the level.
You get 5 chances to restart if you mess it up.

You can download this game and play it in your favourite ZX Spectrum emulator.
I find http://torinak.com/qaop simple to use because it is a Browser Based emulator.
However more sophisticated emulators such as FUSE, Spectaculator and many others are available.
The game can also be run on a real ZX Spectrum computer and even the Spectrum Next
Good torrent games for mac.

Install instructions
This game can be loaded in 48k mode or 128k mode.
48k will lack music.
You can re-define keys and if you have a Sinclair joystick you can use that by defining the keys as the directions on the Joystick.
You can run it in a ZX Spectrum emulator for Chromebook, Android, PC, MAC, Linux etc.
or
The real hardware using one the appropriate apps that loads tap files into real hardware as if they were a cassette. Or if you have a modern SD Card reader device* connected to your spectrum it can be loaded via that. Seagate backup plus hub for mac.
*There is a know issue where the letter keys appear not work on some SD card reader machines.I am actively seeking a solution.

Oh, great speccy puzzler, love it! Keep a good work o/
Sorry Solaris, It was mostly programmed on my Chromebook and I didn't have a practical way to test a joystick feature.
I hope it doesn't detract from your enjoyment.
Your eligibility may be re-verified at any time. When your Office 365 Education plan expires:. The Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means that you can view documents, but you cannot edit or create new documents. You can use the plan as long as you are working at a qualified school.
I have included a re-define keys option so that to help the situation, so you can choose your preferred keys.
Redefine keys dos't support numerical keys 1-0. Sinclair joystick use key 6,7,8,9,0.
Update with the ability to define number keys is available..enjoy
Addictive game play, great sound and colours. Congratulations on an amazing game!
Very nicely done, matey. Polished too. I was a bit shit at it, only got 2 level 3 on my first go, but it's a nice puzzler.
Thanks For the kind comment.
