A calm, clever action puzzler — now with crisp high-density graphics and smoother gameplay throughout. Rotate and drop shapes into the grid to build solid connecting lines across or down. Complete a line and it clears, freeing up space to keep going. Simple to pick up, but staying alive takes real planning — the grid fills faster than you think. This is a brain teaser rather than a twitch arcade game. There's no clock forcing your hand in Relaxed Mode, so you can sit with a tricky board for as long as you like. If you enjoy quiet, spatial thinking games, this one will fit right in. Over a decade on the App Store and still going. Features - Very simple to learn - 20 levels (maybe more) to work through - Relaxed Mode — take your time - Up to 64 different shapes - Redrawn for modern high-density displays - Auto-save and auto-continue, so you can pick up mid-board BoXiKoN is now developed and supported by ElectroSoma Ltd. We will be keeping the game refreshed and maintained, as well as working on a sequel.
