Tap. Stack. Climb into the neon sky. Upblock is a one-tap stacking game that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Tap to drop each sliding block onto your tower. Line it up perfectly to keep it whole, or watch the overhang get sliced off and your block get smaller. The higher you go, the faster the blocks move. How tall can you build? NEW IN THIS VERSION • Boosters: get Undo, Stacker and Slow-mo before a game in the Boosters shop, or right when you need them. • 6 animated neon skins: Neon, Electric, Hologram, Synthwave, Circuit and Plasma. • Weekly and all-time leaderboards: compete with players around the world. • A brand-new neon look, from the home screen to the shops. BOOSTERS • Undo: take back your last block, even right after a miss. • Stacker: places perfect floors for you. • Slow-mo: slows the block down so you can nail every drop. Each booster works once per game. SKINS Make the tower yours with 14 skins: 8 classic patterns (Classic, Jade, Ocean, Sunset, Citrus, Lagoon, Candy and Sakura) and 6 premium animated neon skins that glow, crackle and pulse as you stack. GEMS Earn gems as you stack, or watch a short video for free gems. Spend them on boosters and new skins. LEADERBOARDS Climb the weekly leaderboard for a fresh shot at the top every week, and chase the all-time record. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • One-tap controls: anyone can play. • Quick games, perfect for short breaks. • Every perfect drop feels great. • Free to play. An optional Remove Ads purchase removes banner and interstitial ads. Download Upblock and start stacking!
