Stack falling blocks of the same color to charge them, then land another matching block on top to clear the stack. Reach each roundโ€™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?

Block Drop is a falling-block puzzle built for fast, clean phone play. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. It works offline. Open it and play. FIVE MODES Daily Dig. A new seeded board every day: six rows of garbage, three minutes, the same pieces for everyone. Dig out, score high and keep your daily streak alive. Marathon. Endless. The speed climbs every ten lines. Start at level 1, 5, 10 or 15. Sprint. Forty lines, fastest time wins, timed to the hundredth. Ultra. Two minutes on the clock. Score as high as you can. Zen. No clock and no top out. One calm speed. Stop whenever you like. EVERY CLEAR HAS A NAME One line is a SPARK. Two is a FRACTURE. Three is a CASCADE. Four rows at once is a BLAST. Spin a spire into a wedged gap for a TWIST, land big clears back to back for a CHAIN, keep clearing for a COMBO, and empty the board for a PERFECT WIPE. Every value scales with your level. FEELS RIGHT Modern rotation with wall kicks, a ghost piece, hold, and up to five next pieces. A grounded piece gives you half a second to slide and spin it. Drag, tap and flick on the board, or switch to a button pad with auto-shift delay and repeat rate you can tune. Line clears burst, big clears shake the well, and every move has sound and haptics. PROGRESS Player levels, 18 achievements, five block styles to unlock, lifetime stats, and a local top ten for every mode. Game Center leaderboards on iPhone. FOR EVERYONE Light and dark themes, colour-blind piece marks, reduced motion, large controls, a left-handed layout and a short tutorial. Your scores stay on your device.
