Read full description

ChainSpin is a rotational puzzle game where you spin the junctions between blocks, match colors, clear the board, and create satisfying chain reactions. The controls are simple—just choose a junction and spin. But mastering the game requires you to read the board, anticipate how the blocks will move, and carefully decide where and which way to rotate. Clear groups of matching colors and enjoy the thrill of building one chain after another. Progress through a variety of levels, each with its own objectives and board layouts. The opening tutorial levels introduce the controls and game mechanics step by step, making ChainSpin easy to pick up even if you are new to puzzle games. Clearing large groups creates useful items that can change the course of the game. Use a variety of items, including Shuffle Blocks that rearrange the board when you need a new opportunity. You can also choose how item chain reactions are triggered, adding another layer of strategy to their order and timing. Your score is based on more than blocks cleared and chains created. Items and remaining moves can also earn you a clear bonus. Each level awards stars based on your score, giving you new reasons to replay completed stages and aim for a higher rating. Compete through Game Center rankings for the highest level reached, longest chain, highest score, and total stars earned. Title medals based on your progress and special celebrations at milestone levels make every step forward more rewarding. Spin, match, and chain. Enjoy an easy-to-play puzzle game with surprising strategic depth—and plenty of reasons to play again.
