Man page improvement for NAME section #7

The NAME section of blockattack's man page currently uses a generic description for the game. I think it would be a (minor) improvement if the NAME section would be changed from

blockattack - manual page for blockattack 2.0.1
to
blockattack - a puzzle game inspired by Tetris Attack

This minor issue was found with Lintian, a Debian package checker.
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry.html

I'm attaching a patch.

Thank you. I have added
--name="a puzzle game inspired by Tetris Attack" to the help2man command.
This should close the issue (and Github apparently already closed it the moment it saw a commit with the issue and the word close).
