Nubrixy

Read full description

Drag. Drop. Clear. Nubrixy is a glossy neon block puzzle with three ways to play. Drop shapes onto the 8Ɨ8 board and fill a row or column to clear it. It's easy to pick up, but chaining clears, charging sparks and timing the perfect IGNITE turns every game into a chase for a bigger score. ENDLESS Play at your own pace and chase your high score. Clear on consecutive turns to build a streak, from Hot to Blazing to Inferno to GODLIKE. Clear a line of all one colour for a bonus, and wipe the whole board to earn a save for when you're stuck. SPARKS & IGNITE Every line you clear charges your spark meter. Spend a spark to rotate a piece, or IGNITE them all for up to Ɨ10 on your next move. Fill the meter and every move scores double. PUZZLES 65 hand-crafted puzzles in two packs, Starter and Cyberpunk. Every level has its own goal and three stars to earn, and each pack has its own neon look. BLITZ Race the clock. Sprint 60 gives you a minute, and every line you clear buys more time. Unlock Blitz 30 for half the clock and twice the pressure, plus a new Daily Challenge every day. MADE TO FEEL GOOD - Glossy neon blocks, glass menus and bursts of sparks - An original soundtrack, with separate music and sound controls - Satisfying haptics on every pick-up, drop and clear - Game Center leaderboards and achievements - Plays offline, with no ads and no tracking - Made for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, in portrait or landscape - Follows Text Size and Reduce Motion, and takes it easy in Low Power Mode How to Play walks you through every rule, right from the home screen.
