Four Plus is an intelligent puzzle game with a simple and elegant design. Though challenging, Four Plus has a relaxing flow of play. Since you can interrupt and continue the game at any time, Four Plus is truly the perfect casual game! You have to place random shapes consisting of different colored blocks inside of a rectangular field. Whenever there are four or more neighboring blocks of the same color, they will be removed and you gain back space in the gray field. Additionally, you earn one point for every removed block. So you always have to find the best spot for placing the current shape! The game is over when the next shape does not fit into the gray field anymore. Compete with your friends via Game Center or share your new highscore in social networks! You can also unlock achievements, e.g. skill levels; can you make it to become a "Legend"?
