Simple rules, satisfying clears and no timer. blockslidez is a sliding puzzle: slide black blocks onto dark squares and white blocks onto light squares to clear them. How many rounds can you complete? A single swipe can move several blocks along a row or column. Clear several at once for bonus points. New blocks arrive as you play, and blocks that land on the wrong color bring extra pieces onto the board. Plan your moves to keep room for the next swipe. Reach the round's point target to clear the board and advance to a higher goal. Keep going and beat your best score before you run out of moves. Features: – Three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal and Hard. – No timer: plan each move at your own pace. – Separate high scores for each difficulty level. – Automatic saving: stop and continue later. – Keep your podcast or audiobook playing in the background. Enjoy a few minutes of puzzle play while waiting or on your commute, or take your time working towards a new high score. Contains banner and full-screen ads. An optional one-time purchase removes the ads.
