Hero Blocks - Block Sport and Alpha Testing


Greetings Hero

We know you’ve been waiting, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to hear about our game status, and the announcement of our first Alpha test.

It’s been a hell of a ride, and we thank you for being so patient.


Alpha test

We will open for Alpha testing by the of January, so be prepared for an article containing everything you need to know, including details on how to play.

Alternatively, you can sign up right here.


About Hero Blocks

We’ve been hard at work creating a dynamic platform, which we can utilize to build lots of gameplay styles and modes, all focused on precision interaction and optimal player feedback, based on several real-time systems.

But what does it all mean? Hero Blocks? Machineheads? Block Sport?

Allow us to explain:
Our company and platform is named Hero Blocks.
Block Sport are the robotic characters present in the game.
Block Sport is a game mode we’re very excited about.

We’ve received a lot of questions, and one question comes up a lot:

“Is it Rocket League with robots?”

That’s quite the compliment, as we do love Rocket League. But we’re taking a different angle here. Our precision-based combat engine being one of the most notable things that define us, and we’re very proud of it.

If you ask us, we think we’re a little more like Speedball. Remember that?


Blocks are everything

You will take control of a robot comprised of a head and a system of electrical beams. This forms the ‘Skeletoonian’.

As your robot runs on battery and requires some protection from the elements, public embarrassment and other skeletoonians; they equip themselves with a powerful clay-like sculpted combat suit, comprised of blocks.

And everything you do in Hero Blocks will revolve around these blocks.


Block Sport

Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. But here, we can separate them into two factions:

The Rebel heads, and the Empire heads.

  • The Rebel heads are raw, hand built and inspired by humans

  • The Empire Heads are built in factories and are inspired by vehicles and military machines.


Now that we’re finished clearing that up for you, we encourage you to spread the word. We’d like as many hands as possible to participate in our Alpha! —> http://heroblocks.com/hero-signup/

Thanks again for signing up with us, and showing your interest in the game.
Your support means a lot to us.

Best regards, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

– Team Hero Blocks

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.
