NumShift! vs Blocknado

Slide. Sum. Score. NumShift is a fresh take on the number puzzle. Slide entire rows and columns across a 5×5 board — when adjacent tiles add up to the target sum, they merge and you score. Start simple with pairs that equal 10, then level up as the target climbs to 15, 20, and beyond. What begins as easy arithmetic becomes a strategic challenge as you plan moves ahead, set up chain reactions, and keep the board from filling up. WHAT MAKES NUMSHIFT DIFFERENT Unlike other number puzzles, you shift entire rows or columns — not every tile at once. This gives you precise control over the board. And tiles don't merge by matching — they merge by summing to a target. That one twist changes everything. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe left or right to slide a row • Swipe up or down to slide a column • Adjacent tiles that add up to the target number merge automatically • New tiles spawn after every move • The game ends when the board fills with no possible merges FEATURES • Unique target-sum mechanic — not just another 2048 clone • Open-ended levels — targets climb 5 → 10 → 15 → 20 → 25 and beyond • Combo multiplier system — chain consecutive merges for massive scores • Multi-tile merges — combine 2, 3, 4, or even 5 tiles at once • Undo button — take back your last move • Game Center leaderboards — compete globally for high score and highest level • More PapaG Games — discover other PapaG titles from Settings • Satisfying haptic feedback and sound effects • Clean, minimal dark-mode design • Works on iPhone and iPad • No ads. No timers. No nonsense. Built by PapaG Studios — a one-person indie studio making games worth your time.

Blocknado is a retro falling block puzzle with a twist, literally! The floor rotates and you fill in rings instead of rows. It has vibrant retro colours, satisfying animations and really rewarding payoffs, and I would love for you to give it a go. WHAT YOU GET There is an endless marathon to get lost in, a run of authored levels to work through, and your best games are saved so you can sit back and watch them again. The whole game runs on your own device, so it plays offline on the bus, on a plane, or anywhere the signal gives up. No wifi needed once it is installed. Blocknado is free, and it shows ads. One purchase removes them permanently, and that is the only thing on sale in the whole app. HOW IT PLAYS Blocks fall toward a small square core in the middle of the board. Drag them across, tap to rotate them, flick to send them down. Fill a whole ring and it collapses, everything outside it falls inward, and if that fills another ring the rest of the board comes tumbling in behind it. Flick a piece hard and it slams home and torques the floor a quarter turn, so the wall you built up one side arrives along the bottom. If you grew up with one of those little handheld brick games, the stacking will feel familiar right away. CLASSIC Endless, scored, and faster every few minutes. The world's top ten sit on the home screen, and you can watch the runs that got them there. PUZZLE Authored levels in four difficulty bands: Easy, Medium, Hard and Wild. If you fill all the goal blocks you get one or two stars, and three stars for an identical match. SIGHT AND SOUND Pixel art icons, a chunky pixel display font, and light and dark themes that follow whichever one your phone is set to. The originally 8bit soundtrack adds another layer as your board fills up, and collapses land on the beat. NEW TO IT A short tutorial shows you the ropes: drag, tap to rotate, flick to drop. It takes a couple of minutes and then the board is yours.
