The sequel to the real-time strategy classic Alien Tribe 2, which reached the Top 10 in more than 25 countries. Explore a distant galaxy. Colonize new worlds. Research ancient technologies. Connect entire star systems into a unique energy network. It all started with one unforgettable night: After escaping Maloc territory, the Fifo threw the biggest party in their history aboard their ark ship – and, for obvious reasons, didn't invite the autopilot. Big mistake. The autopilot, a hopelessly outdated shipboard AI that had served the Fifo faithfully for centuries, finally had enough. Before sunrise, it beamed the entire tribe onto an unknown planet in a distant galaxy. The Fifo woke up with no ship, no way home – and one legendary hangover. And things only got worse: The ruthless Maloc have picked up their trail again – presumably tipped off by the autopilot out of revenge. And the new galaxy is home to the Kytar: cute to look at, but anything but harmless. The autopilot has given the Fifo a nearly impossible task: Colonize every star system and connect them all into one energy network – then it will return. Provided they promise to invite it to the next party. Now it's up to you. EXPLORE A DISTANT GALAXY Send research ships into unknown star systems. Discover anomalies, investigate ancient wrecks, and uncover resource-rich asteroids. Every game takes place across newly generated star systems – no two are alike. BUILD YOUR ENERGY NETWORK Your energy network is at the heart of Alien Tribe 3. Connect solar power plants, planets, and defensive installations into a galactic power grid – the backbone of your entire infrastructure. If a connection breaks, everything downstream loses power. Plan carefully and defend every link. EXPAND YOUR EMPIRE Colonize planets, build mining stations, research centers, repair stations, and defensive installations. Secure resources and create an economy that can keep running even under constant pressure. RESEARCH AND ADAPT Expand your capabilities with a dynamic, card-based research system featuring around 25 technologies. Every decision comes at a cost: Will you focus on military strength, science, or your economy? Every game plays out differently. COMMAND YOUR FLEET Command harvesters, construction ships, research vessels, colony ships, and combat ships in real time. Each ship class has its own role. FACE THE MALOC Maloc attack waves strike from different directions and grow stronger over time. Build defense platforms, secure chokepoints, and decide when expansion matters more than defense.

Have you ever wanted a puzzle game that turns quick mental math into a real test of nerve? BloopBlock is the answer. Most math games are just flashcards with a timer bolted on. BloopBlock is different. It's a fast, colorful stacking puzzle where every correct answer builds your board and every wrong one costs you space — and the clock never really lets up. BEAT THE CLOCK A new equation appears, and you've got a shrinking window to tap the right answer out of four columns. Solve it before the bar runs out, or a penalty block drops in your place. CLEAR THE BOARD FOR BONUS POINTS Land four correct answers in a row in one column, or complete a full row of four across the board, and it clears itself for bonus points. Wrong answers pile up as red hazard blocks — and once a column fills to the top, it locks for good. THE PRESSURE BUILDS BloopBlock doesn't stay still. The timer tightens every time a column locks, and it keeps shortening as your score climbs — so the better you're doing, the harder it gets to keep doing it. PICK YOUR PACE Choose from Beginner, Moderate, or Advanced difficulty, each with its own speed curve and its own score multiplier — go faster, score more. CHASE YOUR BEST Track your high score, push past your own limits, and see just how long you can keep the board clear before it catches up with you. WHY BLOOPBLOCK? Because sharpening your mental math should feel like a game, not homework. With snappy feedback, a clean color-coded board, and a difficulty curve that never lets you get comfortable, BloopBlock is the perfect quick, addictive brain workout.
