Drop Peak
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drop Peak is a modern falling blocks puzzle you can play offline. Move, rotate and drop the pieces, fill a row to clear it, and chain clears into combos for a high score. Easy to pick up, deep enough to master. FAIR BY DESIGN • 7-bag pieces: all seven shapes arrive in every batch of seven, so you never wait forever for the long piece. • Hold, ghost piece and a 3-piece preview — plan ahead and keep a piece for later. • Modern rotation with wall kicks, soft and hard drop, and a short lock delay so you can still slide a piece into place. • Combo, back-to-back and T-spin bonuses reward clean stacking. TWO MODES AND A DAILY BOARD • Classic — pure, ranked play. Your scores go to the global, weekly and friends leaderboards. • Assist — chain combos to earn a bomb, a rocket and a line clear. Power-ups are earned by playing, never sold. • Daily Challenge — one shared board a day, the same for every player. Keep your streak alive. CLIMB TO THE PEAK • Your home is a tower from L1 to the peak at L20 — your best level marks your place. • Three daily missions and a player level: every run earns XP. • See this week's leader and the rival just above you on the tower. SIMPLE GESTURES • Tap to rotate, swipe to move, flick down to drop, swipe up to hold. • A big, full-screen board — no buttons in the way. CALM, NOT PUSHY • No banner ads, and no ad after every game. • A rewarded video only when you choose it — to continue once after game over. • One-time Remove Ads purchase. No subscription. • No account needed: leaderboards work with an anonymous name. Sign in only if you want cloud save and a friends board. MORE • Play offline — Classic, Assist and the Daily board run on your device. • 6 color themes and a color-blind mode. • Achievements and personal stats: games, lines and best scores. • Sound, music and haptics, each one toggleable. • Available in 30 languages. Drop Peak is an original game by Pixhelm and is not affiliated with any other block puzzle brand.
