BlockSway is a fast, tactile block puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Drag pieces onto the grid, clear full rows and columns, and chain combos for bigger rewards. MEGA COMBOS Clear more than one line at once — or chain clears back-to-back — for combo multipliers and mega combo moments, with sound, haptics, and particle effects that reward clever setups. JOKER POWERS Earn gold as you play and spend it on jokers: undo a bad placement, fill a stubborn single cell, swap pieces, or drop a bomb clear when the board gets tight. GOLDEN CELLS & DYNAMITE Rare golden pieces age on the board and burst into gold. Red dynamite blocks explode the moment their row or column clears — and one blast can chain into the next. TOPSWAY — LIVE LEADERBOARD Compete on the global leaderboard, plus a Daily tab that resets every night so newcomers and veterans start on equal footing every morning. Send coin gifts directly to other players, with a personal message included. SWAYMARKET Collect character cards across five rarity tiers. Fuse duplicates to level up your favorites and show off your best card on your TopSway profile. BONUS ROUNDS & DAILY REWARDS Trigger 30-second bonus rounds with amplified rewards, hit Fever mode for a 2x score multiplier on big clears, and claim a growing streak bonus every day you play. Free to download and play. Optional online leaderboard and profile — enjoy offline if you prefer. Privacy policy and terms available in-app and at blocksway.net.
