Gridrun is a block puzzle you can pick up in seconds and keep coming back to. Drag pieces onto the 8 × 8 board. Fill a row or a column and it clears. Place all three pieces and you get three more. The game ends when nothing fits, so every move counts. LEVEL UP, PICK A POWER-UP Clear lines to fill your level bar. Every level-up offers three power-ups: bigger points, combos that last, a fourth piece each turn, bombs that blow up the blocks around them, and tools that rescue you when you're stuck. Some are common, some are rare. Each run builds differently. RUSH AND LUCKY HANDS After a level-up, your next turn scores ×3. And now and then the game deals a hand that fits the board perfectly. You'll know when it pays off. MEET THE BUDDIES Every block is a little character: Bo the sleepy cat, Sunny the dog, Pip, and Rosie with her daisy. They cheer when lines are close, get nervous when the board fills up, and pop into stars when they clear. PLAY YOUR WAY • One endless game per run: beat your best score • Every game opens on a little picture with pieces that fit it • Continue any time: your game is saved after every move • Works offline. No ads, no purchases, no account, no tracking • Sound, vibration and block faces can be turned off; optional shapes help tell the colours apart Support: https://howxim1.github.io/gridrun-support/support/
