You will wake up after a long cryosleep on a space ship and discover that the entire crew has died as a result of an inexplicable and horrifying incident. The ship's security system has locked the doors to the compartments on all levels. These doors can be opened with security keys to reach the rescue capsule. On your way to the capsule, you will encounter various dangers in the form of aggressive monsters, which were likely once part of the ship's crew. Gameplay: Solve puzzles, search for keys to doors and safes, which can be found in lockers, on tables, or in other hidden places.

Zen Blocks is an arcade game about a ball, a paddle and a wall of blocks that will not wait for you. Calm in mood, exacting in practice. How it plays The ball travels at a steady speed and leaves the paddle at an angle set by where it landed: catch it near the edge and it cuts sideways, catch it dead centre and it goes straight up. That is aiming, not luck. Every block you break makes the ball a little faster. Scoring Each hit on a block scores a point. A block that slips past the bottom of the screen takes away as many points as it had hits left. Hesitation is expensive. Five balls a level You get five attempts. Lose all five and the level is not cleared — and it starts again in exactly the same arrangement. Nothing is reshuffled, so a level you failed is a level you can actually learn. Fifteen ways blocks arrive Scattered at random, snaking down from a corner, in rows, falling like rain, bouncing diagonally, drifting slowly, riding a sine wave, swinging like a pendulum, orbiting the centre, creeping towards the ball, packed into a grid, stacked into a pyramid, sliding as columns, or advancing one row at a time. Every level sets a different problem. Blocks with a will of their own From level five, some blocks bring their own rules: they split in two, pass damage to their neighbours, armour themselves so only a hit from above counts, fade in and out of reach, or quietly run down a timer. Bonuses and bombs Blocks drop extra balls and helper platforms. Points you have banked can be spent on bombs that strip a hit from every block on screen at once. Worldwide leaderboard Game Center keeps the score, and everyone is on the same board. Set your own terms Choose how much of a level counts as cleared — anywhere from 80% to 100% — and set music and sound effects to taste, separately. No ads. No in-app purchases. Nothing is sold for real money, and nothing interrupts a run.
