BattleBlocksX (formerly BBX) is a game similar to Tetrinet.

User guide

This game is Tetris with weapons. For each line you clear, a block with a letter on it will appear in your field.

These lettered blocks are weapons and can be used on your opponents or on yourself (some of them are good).

When you clear a line that has a weapon in it, that weapon will go into your inventory.

To use the current weapon on an opponent (or yourself) you press the button that appears above their field.

Here is a list of all of the weapons and what they do:

A	ADD LINE	Adds a line
C	CLEAR LINE	Clears a line
UP	FAST	Speeds the up falling block
DOWN	SLOW	Slows down the falling block
N	NUKE	Clears entire field
B	CLEAR WEAPONS	Clears all weapons from field
F	FLIP	Flips field upside down
S	SWITCH	Switch fields with another player
R	RANDOM CLEAR	Clears up to 10 random blocks from field
G	GRAVITY	Sucks all blocks down to the bottom filling in all holes
Q	QUAKE	Randomly Shifts each line to the left, right, or center
O	BOMB	Ignites any bombs currently in the field causing the surrounding blocks to blow up into the field
I	CLEAR INVINTORY	Clears all of the weapons in the player's invintory
<>	SWAP DIRECTION	For 15 seconds, when the player hits left on the gamepad, the shape moves right and vise versa

A quick start tip, yellow weapons are bad (offensive) and should be used on opponents while purple weapons are good (defensive) and should be used on yourself or a teammate. Flip and Switch are green since they could be good or bad.
