About

Falling Blocks

Features
Read full description

A falling block puzzle with gravity and no timer. You get three shapes at a time. Drag one over the board, let go, and it drops straight down. Fill a row and it clears, and whatever was above it falls into the gap. Nothing moves until you let go, so think as long as you like. A shape can even drop into a gap that's already covered over, as long as you let go right inside it. Adventure 300 levels in 15 worlds. Every level has a goal (clear a set number of rows, or collect a set number of gems) and a limited number of moves. Earn up to three stars. Stuck? Use a booster (Bomb, Singles or Undo), or grab +5 Moves when you run out just short of the goal. Endless Chase a high score while a tide of garbage rows rises from the bottom. Every clear pushes it back. Big clears and long combos push it back a lot. Daily Challenge 30 turns, and everyone starts from the same deal. It's new every day and gets harder toward the weekend. See where you land on the day's leaderboard. Bot Battle Your board and the computer's, side by side. Clear several rows at once to chip away at its HP and bury it in garbage rows. It'll do the same to you. There are eight opponents, from Bit, who still leaves holes everywhere, to Titan, who plans the whole hand and attacks every chance it gets. Also • Endless, Daily Challenge and Bot Battle unlock as you move through Adventure • Game Center leaderboards and 20 achievements • A daily streak • Plays offline, no Wi-Fi needed • Free to play
