Fit the pieces. Clear the lines. Keep the board alive. FlowBlocks is a block puzzle with one simple loop and a lot of room to think. Drag blocks onto a 9x9 grid. Fill a whole row or column and it clears. Clear more than one at once and a combo builds, and the longer you keep it running the faster your score climbs. There is no timer and nothing chasing you. The only pressure is the board itself: every piece you place decides which pieces still fit afterwards. WHAT IS IN IT - Levels with score targets to work through, and a personal best to beat - A combo system that rewards planning a few moves ahead - Themes to unlock and seven music tracks - One-handed play in portrait, on phone and tablet - English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian NO ACCOUNT, NO CONNECTION Nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. The game runs fully offline, so it plays the same on a plane or underground as it does at home, and your progress stays on your device. ABOUT ADS FlowBlocks is free and supported by ads. If you would rather play without them, one purchase removes them for good. No subscription. For anyone who likes block puzzles, logic games, and something quiet to pick up for two minutes or forty.
