Wobbly Blocks is a 3D physics stacking game. Place blocks on a little platform and build a tower tall enough to reach the goal ring. The challenge is keeping it standing.

## Your first tower

1. Choose a level from the game’s level map. Start with Foothill Steps to get a feel for the blocks.
2. Position the incoming block over a supported part of your tower. Rotate or flip it to find a useful landing face.
3. Drop the block and let the landing settle before adding more weight.
4. Keep building toward the goal ring. Watch for wind, slippery surfaces, and moving foundations as you explore new worlds.

## Keyboard and camera controls

- Space: drop the current block.
- R: rotate the block. F: flip it.
- Left and right arrows: orbit the camera.
- Up and down arrows: tilt the camera. Use the mouse wheel to zoom.
- Escape: pause or resume your game.

On touch devices, use the game’s on-screen controls to place, rotate, and drop blocks. Changing the camera angle helps you check whether a block is supported.

## How to earn three stars

Clear a level for one star. Earn an extra star if no blocks fall into the void, and another if you finish with at least two blocks left over. A steady, efficient tower can earn all three.

## Make every landing count

Start with a broad base and keep the weight over your supports. Long planks work best when balanced through their middle or supported at both ends. Give bouncy blocks time to settle, and wait for calmer moments in windy worlds.

## What can I play for free?

The first three levels are free to play in your browser. Create a free account for levels 4–10. Season 1 provides access to levels 11 onward, with worlds opening through progression and bonus unlocks.
