About Block Zero: Open Low-Poly City Action Game

Block Zero is a third-person action game set in an open low-poly city. Cast as a blocky mutant born of the outbreak, the player tears through an urban environment where every wall is a road to the roof and every roof is a launch pad. The city spans 64 blocks with no loading screens and no invisible walls between the rooftops. Multiple tall, rectangular buildings with colorful flat-shaded walls and small white window frames populate the urban area. In one scene, a green-skinned humanoid figure in a green jacket and dark pants stands on a gray sidewalk.

The city is divided into three zones: the quiet residential blocks, the quarantine packed with infected, and the corporate base in the north. The game opens with a leap from a rooftop straight into a crowd of infected, and that energy carries through 12 missions, medal challenges, and a daily challenge that keeps a streak and grows your claw trail.

How to Play Block Zero

Press "Play" and the first mission drops you on a rooftop above a crowd of infected. Jump down and the tutorial teaches every move on the way — fighting with borrowed mauls, absorbing enemies, throwing a car, running up a wall, and gliding. From there, Resistance terminals hand out short missions: thin out the infected, hunt down a witness, or burn out a nest that fights back in three waves. Walk up to a terminal and press E to accept. The arrow at the screen edge points to the current goal, and Q highlights mission targets through walls.

Movement and Traversal

Sprint into a wall to run straight up it.
Tap Space for a short jump; hold it for a high one.
Hold Space in the air to glide across the streets.

Combat and Absorption

Left-click strikes with claws; tap three times for a combo with auto-aim, knock-ups, and a score multiplier — every hit lands with hit-stop, a camera kick, and a sound of its own.
Hold the attack button for a maul smash, unlocked after mission 4.
When an enemy is weakened, a marker appears — press E to absorb it, healing yourself, gaining biomass, and optionally taking its appearance so security will not shoot at one of their own.
Press E next to a car to lift it; press E or attack to throw it — effective against drones, turrets, and the helicopter.

Medal Challenges and Daily Challenge

Yellow pillars outside missions start medal challenges: 6 rooftop runs through chains of gates and 3 Smash arenas full of cars, drones, and turrets.
Go for bronze, silver, or gold; press R to restart a challenge instantly.
The daily challenge is the same for everyone, comes with a twist such as low gravity or explosive cars, and keeps a streak that makes your claw trail grow.
The "Daily challenge" card in the menu takes you straight to today's challenge.

Progression and Collectibles

Tab (the Form button) switches arm forms — 18 forms are available in total.
12 mutations can be acquired across the game.
20 hidden data capsules are scattered through the city.
10 achievements are listed in the "Achievements" menu button, each showing its icon, name, unlock condition, and your current progress.
A daily reward is also available.
