Stellarblox — a beautifully relaxing block puzzle, set among the stars. Drag cosmic blocks onto an 8×8 grid, fit them together, and clear full rows or columns to score. No timers, no game-speed pressure, no forced rotations — just you, the pieces, and a simple goal: keep placing, keep clearing, keep your cosmic board alive. WHY PLAYERS LOVE STELLARBLOX BEAUTIFUL SPACE THEME A deep-space aesthetic with glowing cosmic blocks and a smooth, minimal UI. Easy on the eyes, perfect for calm play sessions on the couch, the commute, or in bed. SIMPLE, SATISFYING PUZZLE You get three pieces per round. Drag each one onto any empty space on the 8×8 board. Fill an entire row OR column and watch it vanish in a burst of starlight. When all three pieces are placed, a fresh trio appears. Keep going as long as you can. STAR COMBO SYSTEM Clear multiple lines in a single placement for combo multipliers. Keep clearing every round to build a streak — streaks multiply your score up to ×2.5. Clear the entire board for a huge +500 bonus. Strategy meets chain reactions. TWO GAME MODES - CLASSIC — endless play. Chase your personal high score. The board never resets on its own; you keep going until no piece fits anywhere. - ADVENTURE — 30 handcrafted levels with target scores, move limits, and pre-filled obstacle blocks. Earn up to 3 stars per level and unlock the galaxy, one puzzle at a time. STRATEGY OVER SPEED There is no time pressure and no falling blocks. You always get to plan.
