Qlik is the block-stacking arcade game that's impossible to put down. A block slides across the screen. Tap at the right moment to drop it onto the stack below. The more precise you are, the wider your tower stays - miss and it gets thinner. How high can you go? SIMPLE TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER One tap is all it takes. But as the speed increases, every placement counts. Stay focused, stay precise, keep stacking. FEATURES - Blocks speed up as you progress - can you keep up? - Perfect placement bonus - nail the landing for extra points - Streak multiplier - chain perfects for massive scores - One revive per game - watch a video to widen your last block - Local leaderboard - top 10 scores saved on your device - Satisfying animations and arcade sound effects - Works offline - play anywhere, anytime HOW TO PLAY Tap the screen to drop the moving block onto the stack. The overlapping part stays - the rest falls away. Stack as high as you can without losing your tower. Available in English and French.
