Fit shapes. Blast lines. Chase the combo. Shapes Blast is a fast, one-thumb puzzle for iPhone. Drag colorful pieces onto the board, fill a full line, and watch it blast away. Chain clears for bigger scores — then do it again. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — the familiar square grid • Hexagon — honeycomb lines and polyhex pieces • Triangle — a sharp tessellation with its own rhythm Each board keeps its own saved game, so you can jump between them anytime. Browse Classic, Hex, and Triangle high scores in one place — and compete on Game Center leaderboards for each board shape. GAME CENTER • Unlock achievements as you play — many grant bonus power-ups • Climb separate leaderboards for Classic, Hex, and Triangle • View progress anytime from Settings POWER-UPS WHEN YOU NEED THEM Undo a move, rotate a tight piece, drop a bomb, refresh the tray, delete one shape, or clear the board.
