A falling-block puzzle like you've never played: the blocks are the ones you draw yourself. You don't wait for random pieces to drop. Trace a shape with your finger and it falls onto the board exactly where you drew it—you choose the form and the column in a single stroke. ■ Clear lines your own way The satisfaction of filling a row precisely and watching it vanish. Since you draw the next shape you want, the strategy is endless. ■ Easy to start, surprisingly tricky Even when you think you drew it just right, sometimes a slightly different shape comes out— and that little unpredictability is the spice! You can even create tough spots on purpose. An exquisite challenge that keeps you coming back. ■ Play it your way - 4 difficulty levels - 5 original background tracks - Landscape support - Left-handed mode / Language switch (Japanese & English) ■ Play with peace of mind No in-app purchases. No ads. No data collection. Nothing extra—just pure focus on the game. Simple controls, deep and free strategy. Take command of the board with the blocks you draw.
