We are announcing a steep price drop of Pit Blocks 3D for the foreseeable future. Due to the current world crisis and emergencies, we believe in a more affordable entertainment for everyone who choose to stay at home during these times.
Thank you, and enjoy Pit Blocks 3D!
Pit Blocks 3D - Update 1.3 - Free Mode
Update 1.3 introduces the new Free mode, where players will be able to play the game without concerning themselves about descending bricks. You will be able to plan your moves, taking your time doing so.
The current brick that you will be manipulating will not descend and will remain in place until you tell it to rush downwards. While the clock will tick, it will not automatically descend your brick when the remaining seconds reach 0. As with previous versions of Pit Blocks 3D, the timer is only a measure of when your pit will move to the next level.
This mode is best suited for those who want to take it easy and just want to match cubes and bricks to complete the pit puzzle. It's a great mode to pass your time and challenge your critical thinking without the worry of a ticking timer.
For those who prefer the time rush, the Race mode is still available for play.
Update 1.3
Mode changes
Free mode
The free mode is now available
Bricks no longer descend based on time
Bricks descend when the user tells them to using the "rush" key
Race mode
This mode has been renamed from "Freestyle" mode to "Race" mode so as to not be confused with the new "Free" mode

Pit Blocks 3D - Update 1.0.1
Hey there Everyone! How's it blocking?
We recently posted an update to PB3D that fixes a few mouse / gamepad issues, as well as a score mechanic. Details are outlined below.
Update 1.0.1
Score mechanic for Basic difficulty now adds the area of the Pit as a score bonus for clearing it.
Score mechanic for Advanced difficulty now adds half the current score to the player's score when clearing a Pit.
Expert difficulty doubles the current player's score when a Pit is cleared.
Fixed an issue where the player wouldn't be able to scroll the in-game achievement window if the game was paused.
Fixed an issue where the player would be able to rotate the camera when the Leaderboards or Story Cards menu was open.
Fixed an issue where the "B" button of the gamepad would not return from any menu if a Tutorial instance was in progress.
In our next post this week, we will be posting our update roadmap!
Thank you all, and enjoy Pit Blocks 3D!
Pit Blocks 3D is OUT NOW!
Hey Everyone!
We just wanted let you know that Pit Blocks 3D is finally here!
What began as a mini-game in a side project eventually took on a life of its own in this 3D block stacker. Today, we’re proud to present to you our ‘ReMixed’ take on the classic Tetris model!
We want to thank you for your dedication and support, and we hope you enjoy Pit Blocks 3D – also available on ItchIO, Humble, and Gamejolt.
Thank you, and see you soon!
Stay tuned for more!
SRM Games
Pit Blocks 3D is Coming Soon!
Hey Everyone!
All of us at SRM Games are proud to announce that Pit Blocks 3D will be releasing soon!
Pit Blocks 3D is our ‘ReMixed’ take on the classic Tetris model. We initially came up with the idea as a simple minigame in a larger release, but Pit Blocks 3D quickly took on a life of its own. Several years later, we’ve nurtured it into a standalone game that we hope will whet the appetites of classic puzzler fans and newcomers alike.
Frantic block-stacking is already exhilarating, but imagine if you were to manage the tetriminos from multiple angles. Pit Blocks 3D takes Tetris to a whole new dimension – literally – by challenging you to stack bricks and clear rows on the x, y, and z-axes!
Right out the gate, you’ll be able to journey through five different campaigns, each with their own environments and stories. In one instance, you might be traveling across the galaxy in search of new planets. In another, you’ll help a group of wizards free an arcane forest from the clutches of a dreadful dragon. Each campaign will pose its own obstacles and hazards, but fret not, puzzler purists: we’ve ensured that the core block-stacking gameplay remains intact.
It’s been a long journey making Pit Blocks 3D, but we wanted to thank everyone for their attention and support. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.
