How to play Block Jumper

There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing

What makes Block Jumper stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
