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
