Though it is harmless, some consider it important to set limits and avoid spending too much time on the game leading to loss of time and being tired. The satisfaction of clearing rows and beating a high score can tempt users to play for long periods of time.

“At times when I play Block Blast, I find myself playing for over thirty minutes, multiple times a day. It’s my favorite mobile game and I like using it to take up time when I have to wait in lines or when I’m walking somewhere,” said sophomore Vittorio Buttice.

Certain users have reached scores of over 150,000 using strategic block placement and quick thinking, showing just how competitive and addictive the game can be. Reaching numbers like that takes time and patience. New players have to get the hang of it to fully enjoy the challenge.

“I had seen online how many users getting crazy scores, such as 50,000 or 75,000 but didn’t know that there were people getting mind-blowing scores such as 150,000. I hope that with a lot of time and effort I can get my score to be as high as that,” shared sophomore Camila Echeverri.
