BlockNest is a color-sorting conveyor puzzle. A belt of colored cups runs toward you. Trays wait on the board. Tap the right tray, fill it, and clear it before the line jams. The first boards are calm: a few colors, a short belt, and time to see what is coming. Then the trays stack, the colors mix, and the belt stops forgiving you. One rushed tap can park the wrong cup in a slot and stall the whole level. HOW TO PLAY Look at the cup at the front of the belt. Tap an open tray of that color. Matching cups ride the conveyor and drop into the tray. When the tray is full, it clears and the board opens up. You have a handful of waiting slots. An empty slot is a promise: the next color can wait there while you set up the rest of the board. Fill those slots with the wrong colors and the belt has nowhere to go. Trays come in three sizes. Small ones fill fast. Longer ones take more cups and stay on the board while the line keeps moving. Some sit under others. A covered tray stays locked until you clear what is on top of it. Plan the top layer first, then work down. ONE WRONG MOVE Early on, you can recover. A spare slot saves a messy tap. A little later, the belt is built so the colors arrive in a tight order. If you open a tray before its color is due, that tray holds a slot until the matching cups finally show up. The rest of the line still needs those slots. That is the jam. You do not lose because the level is impossible. You lose because the belt arrived and every slot was already busy. Watch the front of the line. Leave room for the color that is about to appear. Clear what you can finish. Leave the rest covered until you are ready. 1000 LEVELS There are 1000 levels. The opening set teaches the belt with two colors and a single layer. New colors arrive as you go: red, yellow, blue, then green, purple, pink, cyan, and brown. Boards grow from a few trays to a crowded stack. Layers change from level to level. A quiet board is followed by a tighter one, then a breather, then a hard wave. Tray sizes mix. Some levels are wide and flat. Others are tall, and the tray you need is hiding under two others. The goal stays the same: empty the board before the belt runs out of room. Each level is a short sitting. Win and you move on. Fail and the same belt is waiting, so you can see exactly which tap caused the jam and try a cleaner order. WHAT YOU ARE SORTING ⢠A moving conveyor of colored cups ⢠Trays you tap, fill, and clear ⢠Small, medium, and long trays on the same board ⢠Stacked layers, with covered trays locked until you uncover them ⢠Waiting slots that hold a color until its cups arrive ⢠An extra slot when the belt is too crowded for the slots you have ⢠1000 levels that ramp from a calm start to a tight squeeze A GOOD RUN Read the front of the belt before you tap. Open a tray only when that color is about to arrive, or when you still have a free slot to spare. Finish a tray once you start it. Do not uncover a color you cannot feed yet. When two trays want the same slot, take the one the belt can finish first. The puzzle is the order, not the speed. The cups keep their sequence. Your job is to meet that sequence with the right tray at the right time. REWARDS Clearing a level pays coins. Spend them in a small store, or keep them for the moments when the belt is one slot short. Nothing in the store changes the puzzle itself. A clean order still wins. A jammed order still loses. WHO IT IS FOR Play one level in a spare minute, or sit and chase the next hard wave. BlockNest is a casual sorting game for players who like a conveyor puzzle, a color match, and a brain teaser that stays fair. The early game is gentle. The later game asks you to think a move ahead. Sort the cups. Clear the trays. Don't jam the belt.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connect Up! at none against BlockNest's 5. Connect Up! also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 7 months). BlockNest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
