This looks really cool! I also like the menu, it's really well laid out.

For smooth scrolling the blocks, it looks like there are six possible positions for the blocks. What i would do is have 6 bytes in saferam that can be set to on ($FF or %11111111 in binary) or off ($00). Then, when you scroll the screen left, first shift that byte so that it gets put into the carry then shift the rest of the screen. Repeat until you've scrolled the first 8 rows, then increase to the next byte in saferam and so on until you've scrolled the whole screen. I'm not sure if Axe has bit rotation commands (i don't know how you'd scroll the screen otherwise, though). This way is probably much simpler than drawing a sprite every 8 frames and faster.

Nice job, Axenntio!
Axe doesn't really have bit rotation commands (except /2 and *2) but you still can use the command Asm(). That's in fact exactly what I did to have my pipes and background to scroll smoothly in Flappy Bird.

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Axe has the Horizontal - command, which scrolls the buffer contents one pixel to the left, shifting in white pixels. That's probably the most common way to make an automatic side-scroller in Axe: combining that with drawing the 1 column of pixels that got shifted in.

Fwiw I wrote a smooth scrolling tilemapper and just modified the horizontal +/- commands to shift in pixels from another buffer.

That looks a lot better :) Btw, for faster scrolling you can just shift two pixels at a time before updating the screen, people probably won't even notice that you're skipping a pixel.
