Have you played Block Blast yet? Seems like everybody is these days. And one developer is saying say the game is rigged.

Released in 2021, Block Blast is a simple mobile puzzle game consisting of an 8×8 grid filled with different coloured blocks. Users have to fit three new pieces into the grid each round hoping to fill and eliminate entire rows and columns to make new space on the grid. If you can’t fit a piece into the grid, the round is over. It’s sort of like Tetris without the stress of being under the clock.
