Peel. Load. Fire. Clear. In Layer Break, every tap peels the puzzle deeper. Tap a color on the stack to send matching balls into your slots — reveal the next layer, plan your queue, and set up the perfect shot. Above the board, colorful blocks are waiting. When a slot color matches a block, it fires automatically and breaks through the layer. No match? It waits — and if all 5 slots fill up, it’s slot jam. Why you’ll love Layer Break One-tap controls — easy to start, hard to stop Layer peeling gameplay — every tap reveals a new decision Color matching shots — slots fire only when colors line up 5-slot queue strategy — manage the flow or jam the board Quick, satisfying clears — perfect for short breaks No timers.
