The owl deals the bricks. You put them where they belong. Every pillar shows the order it wants. Stack the shiny bricks to match — bottom to top, color by color — and don't let the wrong one land on top. Easy to pick up, hard to put down. SIMPLE, NATURAL CONTROLS • Just drag and drop — the first levels teach you everything as you play • Park a brick on a tussock for later, or throw it in the bin • Lock bricks in quickly for combos, and catch the stars before they fade LOADS OF LEVELS And they keep finding new ways to trick you. Rainbow bricks that fit anywhere. Marked bricks that belong in exactly one spot. Bricks that clone themselves, double up, or hide their intentions. NIGHT LEVELS When the sun goes down, the owl gets sleepy. Clear the board before she nods off. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Shiny Bricks comes in your language, and picks it up automatically. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account, no ads, no in-app purchases, no lives or energy bars. Your progress stays on your device. Stack the shiny bricks.
