About the Game

SideDrop is a block-breaking idle game that lives at the edge of your screen. Have it alongside anything you're doing, work, browse, game, watch and let the blocks rise and the balls fall.

Blocks spawn from the bottom and push upward. Physics-based balls fall from above to smash through them. Keep the grid from reaching the top by upgrading your firepower, unlocking automated droppers, and discovering new ball types.

Drop balls manually to target threats, or build a fully automated setup and walk away. Either way, the currency keeps flowing and the upgrades keep stacking.

Features

  • Screen overlay — transparent background, resizable, repositionable, with an always-on-top option

  • Active or idle — click to aim and drop balls yourself, or build an arsenal that runs on its own

  • Spatial upgrade tree — a grid of upgrades expanding in every direction: damage, crit chance, ball speed, score bonuses, and more

  • Multiple dropper types — auto-droppers, lasers, shotguns, mortars, snipers — each with their own upgrade branches

  • Special ball types — unlock new balls, each with unique abilities

  • Escalating difficulty — blocks grow tougher the deeper you go

  • Visual customisation — unlock skins and adjust colours to your liking
