During the game, events may cause changes to the block physics, such as doubling in size, becoming slippery, or dropping at faster rates.

In the Race game mode, players must compete to be the first to build a tower tall enough to pass the finish line.

In Survival, the player must try and place a certain number of bricks on their tower without dropping too many and losing their health.
