About

Octofill

Features
Read full description

Octofill is a calm, satisfying block puzzle for iPhone, and it doesn't have a single ad. Drag pieces from the tray onto the 8x8 board (octo by octo, which is where the name comes from). Fill a whole row or column and it clears. Clear several lines at once to score big, and keep clearing on back-to-back moves to build up a streak. When none of your pieces fit anywhere, the run is over, so every placement counts. I made Octofill because I love a casual drop of blocks with my daughters, but every free game we tried was buried under ads and pop-ups. So this one has none. No ads. No pop-ups. No tracking. No account. It doesn't even use the internet, so everything stays on your device. It's good fun with or without kids, and happy to be played on a plane with no signal. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY - Classic: endless. Play until nothing fits. - Time Attack: score as high as you can in 90 seconds. - Daily Challenge: the same pieces for everyone, once a day. - Puzzle: clear a pre-stacked board within a set number of moves. - Bomb Blitz: defuse the bomb blocks before their countdown hits zero. A GAME THAT KEEPS CHANGING - 42 tile themes: wooden blocks, watermelon, fairy bread, mermaid scales, bunnies, and dozens more. Sweep the board completely clear and it hops to the next theme — or pick your favourite in Settings. - Kawaii faces: leave a lone square of blocks on the board and it grows a cute blinking face. Our daughters' favourite feature; there are 20 faces to discover. - Combo banners, rainbow streaks, flying tile pieces, and a confetti party on every full board clear. MADE FOR SHARING - Player profiles: everyone gets their own name, emoji, colour, and high scores, so the kids' runs never overwrite yours. - Pass-and-play Tournament: pick the players, choose a mode, and take turns on one device. Play round after round, scores carry over, and the highest total wins. QUIET BY DESIGN - No ads, no in-app purchases, no nagging. - No analytics, no trackers, no third-party code. - No sign-in and no internet, so your scores and profiles never leave your device. Just blocks, a board, and a few minutes to unwind. Enjoy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Octofill at none against Stickman Surfer's 7. Octofill also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months). Stickman Surfer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
