"Blend" is a brand-new block puzzle game that challenges your color-mixing skills and perception! Unlike traditional Tetris, Blend beautifully integrates the concept of color theory (based on the Johannes Itten 12-color wheel) into its core gameplay. Simply master the rules of color mixing to easily get started and enjoy endless blending fun. [Gameplay Rules] - Board Setup: Stack and arrange blocks of various shapes in a 9x9 grid, using the three primary colors (Red, Yellow, and Blue) as your base. - Mix and Match: When stacked blocks blend into a color that matches the level's target, they will be cleared from the board. - Strategy is Key: Keep an eye on the remaining space, place upcoming blocks wisely, achieve level objectives, and aim for the high score! [Key Features] - Ad-Free Experience: Enjoy pure, uninterrupted puzzle-solving without annoying ads. - Play Anywhere: Intuitive controls paired with deep challenges. Includes a real-time auto-save feature so you can pick up right where you left off. - Progressive Difficulty: Levels get trickier as you advance. Can you push your color perception to the limit? - Hidden Challenges: Special hidden missions await! Clear them to claim exciting rewards. - Power-Ups: Utilize 5 unique items to bail you out of tight spots and clear challenging setups. - Global Leaderboards: Challenge friends and compete globally via Game Center support!
