Builder's Block is a puzzle game in which you must construct buildings and then eliminate them for points. Although a certain color can only eliminate itself, the object of this game is to match colored blocks together to form buildings. Once you have made a building, you can eliminate it by shooting a block on the corner of it. The larger the building, the more benefits you'll reap when you destroy it!

The game can be played three different ways: Puzzle mode, Battle mode, and Arcade mode. In the Puzzle mode, you must travel to one of seven different courses and construct specific size buildings. You must not destroy the buildings in this mode. The object is to build cities for the specific course or region you're in and make the cities grow.

The Battle mode uses the same graphics as the Puzzle mode, but this time you compete against a friend. You must build buildings and then destroy them for points. When you destroy a building, depending on its size, more blocks will be added to your opponent's side. Also, each building is worth a certain number of coins. You must have 100 coins to clear the stage. Once you earn the 100 coins, you must eliminate the clear symbol that appears on your side to win.

The Arcade mode is where the real action of Builder's Block comes into play. You can choose between eight characters, some of which have different style blocks. When you begin, you'll go up against all seven remaining characters and some surprise bosses in the end. The character that has too many blocks on the screen will lose. This mode has more finely detailed graphics with more of a fast-paced style of play.

The buildings in the Builder's Block Arcade mode are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. When you eliminate a building, a different item will appear depending on the structure's size. For example, the 2x2 building will reveal a clear block when eliminated, and if you make the clear block disappear, you move the pusher back one line.

The pusher is the wall behind your blocks, and it will get closer and closer as the game progresses. The 5x5 building will return the pusher to the top, eliminate all pieces, and create several prizes. The Puzzle or Battle mode yields assorted buildings with different prizes when you destroy them, but the concept is the same.
