Blocks is a 3D Jump n' Run. The game is set in a small world, that is completely made out of blocks of wood, where you can move around freely.

To complete a level, you have to find enough marbles and reach the goal. To do this, you will sometimes need to move blocks by pulling and pushing and perform wall-jumps.

Blocks has some nice graphical effects like Per Pixel Lighting, Depth of Field or advanced global Shadow Mapping.

The best method to play Blocks, is by using an analog gamepad. There is a Mouse+Keyboard mode, but it is nowhere near as good as playing with a controller.

You will need a modern nVidia GPU to play Blocks. (>= geForce 6800) This is because I never had the opportunity to test the game on a Radeon. I removed all obvious nVidia-Only features, but I did not have any success on Ati/AMD accelerators.

Clone of the strategy board game 'Blokus'. Four players must place as many of their 21 pieces on the board as possible while preventing others from doing the same.

This is made difficult by the fact that a piece played by a player must touch another of the player's pieces, but only at their corners (a player's first piece must touch a board corner).

The game is over when no player can play any new pieces. The winner is the player with the fewest & smallest pieces remaining. Bonus points are awarded for playing all pieces.

Features a tweakable AI to take the place of any human players.

Tested with Ubuntu, wxGTK version 2.6.2, with and without Unicode support.
