About

Pairnic

Features
Read full description

Pairnic is a quiet, brain-teasing puzzle game about sliding blocks into place. Every level is a small playfield of walls and colored blocks. You slide blocks left and right — gravity does the rest, pulling them down until they land on a wall, another block, or the floor. Get two or more blocks of the same symbol touching, and they vanish. Clear every block on the board to win the level, before your timer runs out. The signature twist: some levels hide an odd number of a given symbol — three lightning bolts, say, with no way to pair them off two at a time. The only way to clear them is to engineer a moment where all three touch at once. It's a small puzzle within the puzzle, and it's the heart of what makes Pairnic click. Later stages add moving platforms that carry blocks up, down, and sideways on their own schedule, so timing your slides against their patrol becomes part of the solution too. There's no combo timer to beat, no lives to lose, and no ads interrupting your thinking. Pairnic is inspired by the classic block-matching puzzlers of the arcade era, rebuilt from scratch with all-new art, sound, and 100 levels across 10 stages that escalate from gentle introductions to genuinely tricky platform-and-timing puzzles. Every single level has been verified solvable by an exhaustive solver before shipping — if it's in the game, it can be cleared. Play with simple drag controls, or switch to a tap-to-select cursor mode if you'd rather not drag on glass. Full support for iPhone and iPad. Your progress (stars, best scores, which stages you've unlocked) is saved to your device and quietly synced across your other devices via iCloud — no account to create, nothing to sign in to. Finish all 100 levels and Campaigns opens up: free downloadable level packs that add more puzzles in the same style, whenever new ones are released — no purchase, no account, ever. - 100 levels across 10 escalating stages - The signature odd-count "simultaneous merge" puzzle mechanic - Moving platforms that add timing and planning to later stages - Campaigns: free downloadable level packs once you've cleared the main game - Drag controls or tap-to-select cursor mode — your choice - iPhone and iPad support - Undo, so experimenting never costs you the level - No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection - Progress syncs privately across your devices via iCloud
