Drop into Blastrix — the neon arcade puzzle where falling blocks explode in chain reactions. Pieces fall. You rotate them, slide them, slam them down. Connect 3 or more blocks of the same color and they blast apart — and when the pieces above tumble into new matches, the cascades keep the explosions rolling. Clear fast to ignite the FIRE METER. Every tier multiplies your score — x2, x5, x10, all the way to x20 — but let it cool and your multiplier burns out. The whole game shifts color with your fire level: the hotter you run, the brighter it burns. HOW TO PLAY • Tap right to rotate clockwise, tap left for counter-clockwise • Slide left and right to move the piece • Swipe down for a hard drop • Match 3+ connected blocks of the same color to clear them WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK • Chain reactions: one smart drop can set off cascade after cascade • The fire multiplier: risk fast play for massive scores • Speed ramps up the longer you survive • Beat your best — the game tracks your top score and your lifetime average • Crunchy haptics and rising combo sounds that make every blast feel great • Quick sessions: a full run fits in a coffee break • Plays offline, anywhere Easy to learn in one game. Hard to put down after ten. Rotate. Match. Blast!
