SmashBlocks is a block puzzle game with a wobbly twist. Drop jelly blocks into the grid, fill lines to clear them, and mix colors together for chain reactions. It's easy to learn and satisfying to master. - HOW IT WORKS - Blocks fall from the top of an 8-column grid. Fill a complete horizontal line to clear it and score points. Use fewer drops to earn more stars. Simple — but the deeper color mixing system, ice obstacles, and gravity wells keep things interesting. - COLOR MIXING - Six base jelly colors drop from above: · Cyan · Magenta · Lime · Tangerine · Coral · Lavender When blocks of different colors touch, they blend into mixed colors: · Cyan + Magenta → Violet · Cyan + Lime → Teal · Magenta + Tangerine → Amber Plan your drops to create mixed colors exactly where you need them for combo clears. - SPECIAL BLOCKS AND MECHANICS - · Ice blocks — frozen blocks that must be cleared by completing lines beneath them · Frozen cells — locked grid positions that block your drops · Gravity wells — pull your falling block faster, demanding sharper timing - 210 PUZZLE LEVELS ACROSS 10 WORLDS - Every level is hand-crafted with a specific goal, a par drop count, and a maximum drop limit. Complete in par drops for 3 stars.
