Clear blocks fast. Chase the big groups. Feel the rush. Strata is a fast-paced block puzzle built for quick sessions and serious combos. Tap to clear groups of matching blocks, but the bigger the group, the bigger the score. Speed keeps you alive. Bank turbo charges by pulling off big combos, then unleash them when the board gets dangerous. Chain explosive clears, watch the board light up, and see how long you can survive as the pace keeps climbing. No timers between sessions. No waiting. Just pick it up, play for two minutes or twenty, and put it down whenever you want.
