Melt Blocks!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Let’s start! Move the colorful blocks through the color-matching gates, crush them, and let the pieces on the conveyor fill buckets of and melt. It’s that simple! Are you ready for this relaxing and ASMR puzzle challenge? > Hold and drag the colorful blocks on the board and guide them through gates of the same color! > Blocks that pass through the gates break into pieces and move onto the conveyor! > Pieces on the conveyor fill the buckets of the same color and melt away! But keep these in mind: > Each block has a number on it. This number shows how many pieces will go into the bucket when the block breaks. > The numbers on the buckets show their capacity. > You can see the conveyor capacity at the bottom of the board. As more pieces collect on the conveyor, this capacity fills up—don’t let it overflow! Easy to play, fun, and a great puzzle experience is waiting for you. Can you complete all the levels?

Sudoku, but with cats. Fussy, sleepy, lovestruck cats. Patch Cats is a cozy logic puzzle game stitched together from felt. Instead of numbers you place cats, one of each in every row, column and room. Sounds easy, until the cats start having opinions. EVERY CAT HAS A QUIRK • The Antisocial Tabby won't sit next to another Antisocial Tabby, not even diagonally. • The Box Ginger only sits inside a cardboard box. • The Sleepy Calico refuses to nap next to the noisy vacuum. • The Lovestruck Siamese always has to sit next to its sweetheart, the Van Cat. • The Plush Ragdoll has a twin on the exact opposite square. 16 felt cats in all, each with their own rule to learn and use. A COZY STORY, ROOM BY ROOM Follow the cats through moving day and into their new home: the window nook, Grandma's knitting corner, the study, the garden, midnight mischief and more. 133 hand-made levels across 11 rooms, with a short story in every room. PUZZLES THAT KEEP CHANGING • Roll yarn balls into baskets to clear the board • Turn mirrors to bounce a laser pointer's beam • Slide boxes, read shadow clues and dodge the robot vacuum's patrol • Solve the room next door to open a locked room • Boards grow from 3x3 to 4x4 to 6x6, with Expert 9x9 for real puzzle fans SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • A fresh Daily Paw-zzle every day. Keep your streak going! • Collect every cat in the Catdex • Earn meows, open daily gifts and climb the Game Center leaderboard MADE TO RELAX • Short levels, perfect for a coffee break • Undo and catnip hints whenever you get stuck • Hand-crafted felt art, gentle music and plenty of purring • Plays in 12 languages Patch Cats is free to play with optional ads. A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase turns them off for good. Got a puzzle-loving friend who also loves cats? You know what to do.
