Stack blocks without ever touching the screen — using only your face. NODBLOCKS turns your head movements and facial expressions into arcade controls. Turn your head to move, raise your eyebrows to rotate, open your mouth to drop. After a quick setup, you play 100% hands-free. THE ONLY TRULY HANDS-FREE BLOCK PUZZLE No taps, no swipes, no controller. Every action — starting a game, navigating menus, even typing your initials on the global leaderboard — is done with your face. HOW YOU PLAY - Turn your head left or right to move blocks - Raise your eyebrows to rotate - Open your mouth to hard-drop - Look up to pause NOT YOUR USUAL PUZZLE Clear lines and chase your high score as the speed climbs. On even levels the whole board flips 180° and blocks fall upward — rethink everything. Survive with special pieces: the morphing Chameleon block, the wall-phasing Phasing Dot, and 3x3 Bomb power-ups. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Designed from the ground up for accessibility. Perfect for players with limited hand mobility — and for anyone who wants to play while their hands are busy. A genuine touch-free arcade challenge. A WORKOUT FOR YOUR FACE Every tilt, brow-raise and jaw movement gently works your neck and facial muscles. Face yoga disguised as an addictive 8-bit arcade game. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Face tracking runs in real time, entirely on your device. Your face data is never stored and never sent anywhere.
