I’m not exactly sure what the knights have to do with placing the blocks. It’s not like you’re attacking the blocks to destroy them and get into a castle or anything. I guess they just needed a theme.

Block Knights, from BitCaper, is a puzzle block placing title akin to Tetris with a twist. The blocks start in the center of the screen and you can move them to the edges. The goal of the game is pretty much the same, clear lines of blocks to score points or achieve a specific goal, more on that later. When you clear a line sometimes other blocks will go with it and sometimes they won’t. I believe it all depends on whether or not they’re attached to the side of the box or not. With that in mind one would be smart to simply build from the middle. Of course with the tilt nature of the interface, this is easier said than done.

The interface is simply. Tilt the iPhone to move the pieces, tap the screen to turn them. There’s no calibration or sensitivity settings which sort of sucks. Sometimes it feels like the pieces move very rapidly and sometimes they move too slowly so a speed or sensitivity setting would have been cool.
