New parody video game #BlockLivesMatter

Published January 7, 2016 3:26pm ET



Gamers have taken trolling to the next level with the release of a new video game: #BlockLivesMatter.

The game allows players to be blue block that patrol the city streets and shoot black blocks. “Wreak havok as a crazed gun-block on the streets of New Block City as it’s citizens scramble to put an end to your crusade.”

A large component of the game is the media who turn against the blue blocks and overhype the narrative that the blue blocks are on a murder spree, ginning up a mob mentality by the black blocks to destroy them.

“Unlock additional game modes that change the very nature of the game while perhaps making you question your preconceived notions of what it means to be a block person in New Block City (If you’ve had notions about that in the past, but probably not)!” the video game creator said on Steam. “#BlockLivesMatter is not just a game, it’s a movement. And a hashtag. Join the discussion #BlockLivesMatter.”

The game is on early access alpha state and the game’s creators plan on releasing it soon with better graphics, more levels, and additional weapons.
