About

Pull Blocks

Features
Read full description

Snails with magnets are ready to pull blocks in their path. Tap to send a magnet to the current slot, and it will pull blocks of the same color. The number in the center of the magnet indicates its strength; this is the number of blocks it can pull. You send one magnet to the active slot each turn. Magnets can only pull blocks of the same color if there are no other blocks in the magnet's direction. Choose the right magnets each turn so that all blocks are cleared and no blocks are left on the board. There are power items that can change the next slot, add new slots, remove magnets from slots, and act as super magnets that attract all colors. Simple mechanic, one-tap control, easy play. Short levels and quick sessions are perfect for brief breaks. Satisfying feeling of clearance of blocks with several magnets simultaneously. For those who want to try this stress-relieving puzzle game, the snails and their magnets are ready.
