Before you start
Before joining a match, check that you are on a computer: Poki lists Blockpost for computers only, and it relies on a keyboard and mouse. It is worth spending the first match simply learning how the controls feel rather than chasing eliminations. Notice how aiming with the right mouse button feels, how switching weapons with the number keys works, and where other players tend to appear. Because every opponent is a real person, early matches can be uneven; that is normal, and the maps become much easier to read after a few rounds on the same one.
How it plays
Blockpost drops you into online matches with real players. The world is built from blocks, but the rules are those of a classic first-person shooter: move around the map, find opponents and eliminate them before they find you.
Matches take place on different maps and in different modes. Each map has its own routes and cover, and learning where fights tend to happen is a large part of improving.
Movement and aim are separate skills. You move with the keyboard, aim with the mouse, and can switch between weapons with the number keys. The right mouse button is used to aim.
Poki’s description puts the emphasis on staying calm under pressure and using cover well. Rushing into open space usually ends a life quickly, while careful movement between covered positions keeps you in the match longer.

Tips for a first session
- Learn one map well before trying the others; knowing routes is worth more than fast reactions.
- Move from cover to cover instead of crossing open ground.
- Practise switching between aiming and firing without aiming, and see which suits each distance.
- Check which weapon is best for the map you are on, and switch before a fight rather than during it.
- After being eliminated, think about where the shot came from; it often reveals a common position.
