"Spinblox rules - It is so addictive and priced reasonably. You need to at least give this game a chance!!!" - SCW9 "Good game - Hours of entertainment. Worth every penny." - MT1000 "Wonderful. So Fun. I had played the web app version of this game at it was so much fun. The app version brings new special blocks adding a whole new aspect to the game. Its fun, unique and addictive and you can save your games, a major plus for people playing to pass a few minutes." - freetoremix "Good choice - This is a very addictive game. Good choice even for the price. It's worth it." - Tisha728 "=D - It's addictive! Wayyy better than the online version" - kgom "Worth It - This game is a mix of Bejewled and Tetris..." - ajkubert "Very fun and unique game - I bought Spinblox on a whim today, and I'm glad I did. Spinblox reminds me of tetris (it's very different, but the genre is the same), but it has a lot more depth to it..." - Twxz "Great upgrade - I was a big fan of the beta version, and love the new version as much if not more, the special blocks takes some getting used to, but it's a great way to vary the gameplay." - Roger P. Moore "Addictive game - I love this game. Used to play it all the time online. Great gameplay." - wquintero Spinblox is a fun and exciting classic falling block puzzle game for all ages. Drag three or more same color blocks in a row or a column to activate them. Activated blocks are removed when the next wave drops. Activate a special block by activating a block adjacent to it. Be careful, blocks can be de-activated. The game is over when the blocks reach the top. Good luck!

Welcome to this captivating version of Match 3 puzzle. The point of the game is to line up 5 or more bubbles horizontally or vertically to remove them off the board. Tap bobble to select and then tap empty cell where you want to bubble to move. The path has to be clear – bubbles can’t move diagonally and can’t jump over the other bubbles. The more bubbles you remove at a time the higher the bonus. Don't forget to check our Games section for more fun games...
