Umerun is a grid-based line-clearing block puzzle game. While keeping all the familiar fun of block puzzles intact, players take on a wide variety of tough puzzles across more than 100 stages, making full use of ever-changing stage conditions, exciting obstacle gimmicks, and special blocks that deliver the thrill of a game-changing comeback. 【Basic Controls】 - A board with a grid for placing blocks is displayed in the center of the screen. - Four blocks are lined up below the board. - You can place a block by dragging the leftmost of the four blocks onto the board. - When you drag a block over the board, the cells where it will be placed are highlighted. - The block you are about to place can be deleted (discarded) or rotated. 【Rules】 - When you completely fill a vertical or horizontal line on the board, the blocks in that line are cleared. - Clearing a line awards points and bonuses based on the number of blocks cleared. - As you place the blocks in your hand, new blocks are replenished one after another. - The game is over when there is no empty space left on the board to place the next block. 【Block Types】 - Standard Blocks: Blocks in various geometric shapes such as squares, L-shapes, T-shapes, and straight lines. - Villain Blocks (Bombs): Once placed, a countdown begins, and when it reaches 0 the block explodes and inflicts a score penalty. You can defuse it safely by clearing it with a Happy Block. - Happy Blocks (Rainbows): These appear only rarely. Placing one instantly clears the blocks around that cell and safely defuses any bombs within range. 【Stage Design】 - There are over 100 stages, with the difficulty rising step by step. - As you advance, the shape of the board itself changes into complex and unique forms such as L-shapes, donuts, and crosses. - Some stages contain obstacle cells where blocks cannot be placed, requiring strategic space management. 【Rankings】 - Supports Apple Game Center. - Your best score is submitted to the online global leaderboard, letting you compete with players around the world.
