BUILDING BLOCK HEROES Literal Puzzle Platformer Coming to Steam this October

A literal puzzle platformer for PC (with boss fights!) where you save the world using colored blocks and the power of friendship

Solo indie developer, Aggroblakh, has a fresh new take on puzzle platformers with soon to release Building Block Heroes. The game is a puzzle platformer in which you control one of four characters and use colored, destructible blocks to build pathways to get from point A to point B. It essentially combines two popular genres into a single game and throws in unique player abilities, massive boss battles, and all sorts of environmental obstacles along the way! Simultaneously control both building blocks and heroes, with a friend or by yourself, as you construct your own means to save the Jollyfolk!

Besides combining two different genres into a single game, Building Block Heroes supports local co-op, complete with controller support. You and a friend can each select one of the Building Block Heroes and piggy-back off one another, make use of each other’s abilities, or otherwise just get in each other’s way!
