This one's worth buying on your iOS device." - Pocket Tactics "Tiny Armies should be standard issue for all Apple Watch owners. It places an effortless punch right on the button that delivers a knockout." - The Zarf "This is the type of game you'd expect to play on a watch. Once you start playing - oh my gosh - it's like wait, they're attacking me! I'm not just swiping. It's not passive. These guys are moving trying to eliminate me. It's actually quite fun." - Apple WatchCast "One level of Tiny Armies takes a mere minute which makes it perfect for short play sessions. The game is fun and fairly challenging, you’ll need some good tactics to play a couple moves ahead and take down Red." - 5 Minute Games

Remember when games didn't try to sell you something every 12 seconds? Yeah, we do too. Block Time is a block puzzle game with zero ads, zero energy timers, and zero "watch this video to keep playing." Just you, some very good Tetris-shaped bricks, and the increasingly unhinged joy of clearing a full board. Drop pieces. Clear lines. Chain combos until the screen basically throws a party for you. Clear enough lines in a row and the whole board changes its entire outfit — new theme, new vibe, zero warning. We don't make the rules. We do make the bricks... and the rules.. i guess we do kinda make the rules. About to lose? Extra Life shows up like the fastest friend on the internet, bailing you out before you even finish panicking. No ads watched. No ads. Ever. Not even a tiny one. No subscriptions, energy bars, or fake urgency Dozens of themes, more always on the way Anyway. Go clear some lines. The board isn't going to clear itself. Okay, it kind of does. That's the whole game. You get it.
