QUARC is a twist on the classic falling block puzzle game with pieces built out of concave and convex curves, from circles to four-pointed stars. Match the curves so they fit together and filled rows will disappear. But when pieces collide or leave behind impossible holes, it's a recipe for disaster. Using curves instead of straight lines drags the classic block puzzle genre into new territory where nothing looks familiar. No more stacking squares. In QUARC, you're reading the smooth contour of the surface you've already built, and finding the piece that belongs. No ads, no subscriptions. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY Classic: endless, and it steadily gets faster. Zen: endless, and it never speeds up. The quiet, relaxing one. Stay as long as you like. Sprint: clear sixteen rows as fast as you can. A pure race against the clock. Survival: at first, every piece fits somewhere. As your score climbs, fewer and fewer fit anywhere. Survive. Challenge: a brand-new pre-filled board every day to surprise and exasperate you. Each day's challenge uses the same board for everyone, worldwide. ON THE BOARD Golden pieces help you fill the gaps that ill-fitting curves leave behind. Bombs let you blast a piece out of midair when it's the one shape you can't use. A streak of ten perfect landings in a row gives you 20 seconds of slow motion, so you have a chance to breathe. GAME CENTER Four leaderboards — Classic, Sprint, Survival and the daily Challenge. See where you land. FREE TO PLAY, OR BUY ONCE Classic and Zen are free forever, unlimited and endless. No lives, no energy, no cooldowns, no limit on how much you play. Quarc Pro is the one optional purchase in Quarc. It unlocks Sprint, Survival and Challenge modes, plus five additional color themes and three background styles. You pay once. There is no second purchase, since there is nothing else to sell you. Every new player gets Quarc Pro free for their first seven days. No card, nothing to cancel. BUILT FOR IPHONE Quarc has minimal geometry, crisp arcs, and smooth animation. Its accessibility features include Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, a high-contrast mode, and haptics you can switch off. Playable offline, always. Made with love by one person who also loves to play. Curves change everything. Are you ready?
