QBeez are back and Remixed for fun! Red together, blue together, green together... QBeez just love to clear together! Description QBeez, the puzzle game with personality, has returned fully revamped and remixed. Match groups of two or more colored QBeez on your way to making a perfect clear. • Rotate your device, they drop and turn. • Shake your device to shuffle the board! • Swipe left and right to slide the QBeez side to side. • Swipe up and the whole board flips. Don't leave any Singlez, or face the heart-wrenching cries when these adorable little cubes are left without a match. QBeez reminds us all that it is hip to be square! Major changes in this update. • Uses Unity Ads and offers In-App Purchasing for consumable items • Large QBeez that are twice the size of regular QBeez • Previous version repeated the same 10 levels and never used more than 5 colors. The new version has over 200 unique levels with up to six colors with more levels and unique QBee types coming soon. • Shuffles are now a limited resource. Fans of classic QBeez will recall that they were not always unlimited. This release is bringing that back. We’ve added an option to earn more shuffles along the way. • Boomz are a new power item for QBeez mobile. You’re gonna need them to remove any Single QBeez you leave behind. • Single QBeez (or Singlez) cannot be left behind or you will cannot beat a level with a Perfect Clear. • Perfect Clears are now the only way to continue. In the past crying QBeez without a match could be left behind while the game kept on going. Turns out, they didn’t like that at all. Now leaving singles behind will cost you a Heart. • Heartz. QBeez is all about the Heartz now. If you lose a level you will also lose a Heart. Lose all of your Heartz and it’s game over. We’ve added the option to earn more Heartz when you do. • To balance it all out we’ve added a brand new control: Swiping. Swipe Left, Right and Up for control over the grid like never before. Re-order QBeez into massive groups or just get a handful together. ---------- Features • Swipe Left and Right to slide the QBeez around. • Swipe Up to flip the entire board. • Rotate your device to change the direction QBeez fall. • 4 Modes: Timed, Points, Moves and the Casual. All with one goal: Clear the Board. • 8 different board sizes • 15 unique QBeez characters, including Chickenz! • Dynamic layouts for every play through keeps the game fresh and compelling • Engaging sounds, voice and music tracks • Gamecenter Leaderboard • Shake to remix the board when you are out of moves or just feeling lucky. and… • Introducing… Boomz!!!

We should have the option to start over or keep going but having to wait or something for lives to renew if we want to keep going. ### 2/5 — Крик души *2025-05-24, version 2.2.3* Ребята разработчики, пожалуйста, почините игру - приходится перезаливать ее постоянно, не загружается вообще.. игрушка классная, очень люблю ее, но так грустно, что нет возможно играть 🥲 ### 5/5 — dont die yet its 2025 *2025-04-21, version 2.2.3* can yall at least update the app to have it be compatible with todays ios please… this game is goated im lowk addicted 😻 ### 1/5 — bad release to steal money from children *2024-08-22, version 2.2.3* no sound, no music, zero support to figure out why. Just play the game true to original and stop with popups to buy cheats and workarounds. obviously co opted by evil manipulative hoards of crypto bros boo! ### 1/5 — Why did they change it? *2022-03-28, version 2.2.3* It was perfect the way it was in 2008. The new design is one thing, but I’m really ticked off about the fact that you have to pay for limited shuffles now! It’s a disgrace! ### 1/5 — Why spoil a great game? *2022-01-30, version 2.2.3* What a real shame the designers have messed with the graphics and animations if you win a level, why can’t we have the old game back? Not everything is better updated. Crashes and freezes☹️ ### 3/5 — Love *2021-10-15, version 2.2.3* I love the computer game and I spent so long trying to remember how the game title was spelled and found this. I do love it but I miss the shaking before they disappear and the “yellow together” every time you clicked on the block grouping. Please make an app more similar to the original game. You’d make me so happy. ### 1/5 — Yet another great game ruined. *2021-09-25, version 2.2.3* Haven’t played this in years. Decided to give it another go. It’s completely screwed. Just another ad-filled money grab. Avoid. ### 3/5 — Original better *2021-02-15, version 2.2.3* I liked the original better. Can’t we have a choice?! ## Frequently asked questions about QBeez ### What is QBeez? QBeez is a puzzle game where players match groups of two or more colored cubes, called QBeez, to clear them from the board. The goal is to achieve a 'Perfect Clear' by matching all cubes and avoiding any single cubes left behind. ### How do I play QBeez? You play by matching groups of colored QBeez. You can slide them left and right, flip the entire board by swiping up, and rotate your device to change the direction they fall. Shaking the device shuffles the board, and new power-ups called Boomz can help clear single QBeez or entire colors. ### Is QBeez free to play? Yes, QBeez is free to play. It includes advertising through Unity Ads and offers in-app purchases for consumable items like power-ups and ways to earn more shuffles or hearts. ### What platforms is QBeez available on? The description mentions 'QBeez mobile' and features like GameCenter Leaderboard, suggesting it is available on mobile platforms like iOS and Android. It also mentions device rotation and shaking, which are common mobile device interactions. ### What are the main objectives in QBeez? The primary objective is to achieve a 'Perfect Clear' on each level by matching all the QBeez and leaving no single cubes behind. Losing a level costs a Heart, and losing all Hearts results in game over. There are four modes: Timed, Points, Moves, and Casual, all focused on clearing the board. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.2.3 — 2016-10-22 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
