Welcome to Linky Blocks! This is a matching game - match identical blocks by dragging your finger along the chain, in any direction. 2 blocks or more, then watch them pop! Linky Blocks squirm when pressed, drop, squish and bounce when popped. It's super tactile and satisfying. It's half game, half fidget toy! Tax yourself in the competitive modes, including the new Challenge mode filled with devious levels to clear, or play in Endless mode to just relax. Change theme to change the look and feel of the game and keep it fresh! Screenshots courtesy of the rather excellent Screenshots Pro - http://screenshots.pro

About

Platform Hopper

Features
Read full description

Get ready to test your reflexes in this simple but addictive arcade challenge. A bright little ball is stuck bouncing from platform to platform, and it’s up to you to guide it safely as the world scrolls by. Each platform you land on is a point earned but miss, and it’s game over. The controls are easy to learn: tap and hold left or right to nudge your ball across the screen, keeping it lined up for the next jump. The further you go, the faster it feels, and the more satisfying it is to keep that streak alive. It’s the kind of game you’ll pick up for a quick round, and suddenly find yourself playing again and again just to beat your best score. Smooth visuals, tight gameplay, and a clean design make it a great little time-killer whenever you need a fun distraction.
