Stack falling blocks of the same color to charge them, then land another matching block on top to clear the stack. Reach each round’s point target before your blocks reach the top. Swipe to move each falling piece and tap to rotate it. Pieces can be black, white or a mix of both, so line up their colors with the blocks below. Charged blocks glow gold: keep them within reach of your next matching piece. A well-placed piece can clear several vertical stacks at once. Blocks above the gaps fall into place and can trigger further clears. Keep clearing with consecutive pieces to raise your point multiplier; a piece that clears nothing ends the streak. Hit the round target and the whole board clears. The next round starts with a higher point target, while your total score carries on. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard. On Easy, pieces fall more slowly and the floor stays put. Normal and Hard bring faster falls and new rows from below that push your stacks upward. Your best score and highest round are recorded separately for each difficulty. How many rounds can you complete before you run out of room?
Blastrix

Drop into Blastrix — the neon arcade puzzle where falling blocks explode in chain reactions. Pieces fall. You rotate them, slide them, slam them down. Connect 3 or more blocks of the same color and they blast apart — and when the pieces above tumble into new matches, the cascades keep the explosions rolling. Clear fast to ignite the FIRE METER. Every tier multiplies your score — x2, x5, x10, all the way to x20 — but let it cool and your multiplier burns out. The whole game shifts color with your fire level: the hotter you run, the brighter it burns. HOW TO PLAY • Tap right to rotate clockwise, tap left for counter-clockwise • Slide left and right to move the piece • Swipe down for a hard drop • Match 3+ connected blocks of the same color to clear them WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK • Chain reactions: one smart drop can set off cascade after cascade • The fire multiplier: risk fast play for massive scores • Speed ramps up the longer you survive • Beat your best — the game tracks your top score and your lifetime average • Crunchy haptics and rising combo sounds that make every blast feel great • Quick sessions: a full run fits in a coffee break • Plays offline, anywhere Easy to learn in one game. Hard to put down after ten. Rotate. Match. Blast!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blastrix at none against stacz's 1. Blastrix also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). stacz's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
