Blockium
A block puzzle with a pulse. Drop, fit, clear — then keep going when the board says stop.

We create
experiences
that stay.
Authentic Hearts Interactive is a small studio building handcrafted pixel-art games for mobile. Every sprite drawn by hand. Every block placed on purpose.
The hand
we're playing
One card face-up. The rest stay down until they're ready to be played — we'd rather show you a finished game than a promise.
Not dealt yet
Prototype in the engine. It's a different genre, and it's early.
In-house toolkit
Saves, skins, audio, haptics and economy, written once so gameplay gets the hours.
Tap a face-down card to turn it over.
Block puzzle · Pixel art · Mobile
You get three shapes. The board is eight by eight. There is no timer and no next-piece preview to save you — only the hand in front of you and how far ahead you're willing to think.
Blockium is the studio's first release: a puzzle you can play for forty seconds at a bus stop or forty minutes chasing a run. Two modes, five skin sets, and a soundtrack that knows when to get out of the way.

Classic
The pure one
Eight by eight. Three pieces at a time. Fill a row or a column and it clears. Miss your placement and the board fills — that's the whole contract, and it's enough.
Horizon
The long one
The board keeps moving. New rows push up from the bottom while you're still solving the last mistake, and the score curve rewards players who leave themselves an exit.
What's in the box
- Hand-drawn art
- Every block, button, cloud and coin drawn in Aseprite at native resolution. Nothing generated, nothing bought off a shelf.
- Five skin sets
- Swap the whole board's palette. Earn coins by playing, or don't — every set is reachable without spending.
- Honest economy
- Coins, a shop and a daily spin. No energy timers, no paywalled difficulty, no ad that interrupts a run in progress.
- Feel first
- Haptics on every placement and clear, tuned per device. Sound designed so you can mute it and still know what happened.
- Offline by default
- Full game in your pocket with no connection. Progress saved locally, restored if you reinstall.

How we
build
Small studio, long attention span. The name is the brief: if a game doesn't leave something behind, it isn't finished.
-
01
Draw it by hand
Art starts in Aseprite at the resolution it ships at — no upscaling, no filters, no smoothing. A block that reads clearly at sixteen pixels reads clearly on any screen you own, and it keeps the game light enough to open instantly.
-
02
Build the boring parts once
Saving, currency, skins, audio, haptics, pooling and store plumbing live in one in-house Unity toolkit shared across projects. It's unglamorous work that we only want to do properly a single time, so the next game starts at the fun part.
-
03
Play it past the point of politeness
A mode ships when it's still good on the hundredth run, not the first. Most of what we design gets cut here — which is the point of designing it in the first place.
