Pixel Unblock
Read full descriptionHide full description
In Pixel Unblock, it’s not about how fast you tap, but which cube you tap first. The cubes at the bottom are blocked by one another. To clear the pixel shapes above, you must find the perfect sequence to release their fire. How to play: Tap a cube to shoot pixels upward. The Number on the cube shows its total shots. Unblock the Path: Cubes can block each other's way. You must tap them in the correct order to clear the path. Win: Destroy all shapes above to complete the level.
Thread Pop

Spools of colored thread sit on the board. Tap a spool to release only the front strand. When three strands of the same color gather, they combine and are cleared from the rack. If no matching strands are available, they remain in the tray. Clear every spool before the tray fills to complete the level.
