Gravity Blocks by Microsoft

Gravity Blocks by Microsoft is a game where blocks must be placed in a grid to form full rows and columns. Vines covering blocks constrain the player's options, but can be dealt with using special power-up blocks and gravity charges, which cause all blocks to fall to the bottom of the board.

The game was developed by Arkadium in collaboration with the Microsoft Casual Games team. The game uses Arkadium's in house Pixi.js-based engine. I was responsible for adding features like tutorials and a rewarded video ad bonus, as well as bug fixing before the game's launch.
