## What is Slydris?

The #1 iOS Game of 2012 according to GameTrailers.com!

"Without doubt the finest puzzle game we've ever played on our mobiles." - Modojo.com (5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a puzzle game that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best of the genre" - EuroGamer.net

"Perfect touch controls never let you down. Manages to find a unique twist on line-formation gameplay." - Gamezebo.com (4.5 out of 5)

Slydris is a unique and engaging puzzle game with a simple premise but deceptively deep gameplay:

* Slide and drop blocks to create full lines of blocks.  
* Create combos of falling blocks and clearing lines to fill up your bomb meter faster.  
* Create a row of a single color for a color burster.  
* Other special blocks (Shatter, Upcoming, Locked, and Magnet) add gameplay variety and challenge.

The three modes are Infinite Mode, Zen Mode, and Survival Mode:

* In Infinite Mode, a new set of blocks drops after every move you make, so take as much time as you want.  Clear 25 lines to move onto the next level.

* Zen Mode functions similarly to Infinite Mode, but the difficulty is more dynamic, there are no achievements or scores to worry about, and your game will never end (in Infinite Mode, the game ends if the stack reaches the top row).

* In Survival Mode, you have 10 seconds to make as many moves as you can to clear the lines of blocks, then a barrage of blocks will drop, and the cycle begins again.  Quick thinking and nimble fingers are required to do well.

Slydris is a highly polished and customizable puzzle game for all ages.  Select from 3 music tracks and dark or light backgrounds.

Slydris supports Game Center Achievements and Leaderboards, iPad Retina Display, and iCloud saving.

### 5/5 — One of the App Store greats

*2023-04-15*

Possibly one of the best time-sinks on the platform, one of the greatest arcade-puzzlers ever.

### 5/5 — Офигенная игра!

Наиграл уже часов 50, без шуток. Очень классная игра!!!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2020-05-30*

Great game idea. Nothing beats this game in my opinion. The time when IOS was converted to 64 bit, Slydris was not usable for a period of time. I found no alternative in this time and I was very glad that Slydris were also converted in the end. So please keep it alive for a looooooooong time...

### 5/5 — Супер!

Благодарю разработчиков!

### 5/5 — Шикарная игра

*2018-11-15*

Залип где-то на час или больше и с трудом вылез из игры. В игре очень затягивающий геймплей, саундтрек и графика. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 2/5 — UNDO BUTTON

Hey idiots! Put a #*~¥$&@ undo button in your game!!!!

### 5/5 — It's a brilliant game!!!!

*2017-09-28, version 1.15*

Such a brilliant game! I really mean it. Sometimes you need a bit of luck as in any game. I have been playing for years and I am so happy the 64 bits version is now available. When I play I always start from level 30... I can understand the game might not be for everybody but when you understand the mechanics of it you will really enjoy it. Get it and thanks me later.

### 5/5 — Thanks for 64Bit update

*2017-09-27*

Thank you for the update, I was fearing to loose this game when installing iOS11. I love this game and   during endless hours on airports I played a it lot. Really enjoying and relaxing .

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-09-27, version 1.15*

One of my favourite iOS games. So happy to see an iOS 11 update - thought I’d lost this forever.

### 1/5 — Won’t work in iOS.

*2017-09-25, version 1.14*

Title says all.  Love it on Kindle, but I retired the Kindle. No go on iPad.
