Read full description

Block Puzzle is an easy-to-play, hard-to-put-down block-filling puzzle game. Place a stream of randomly generated shapes onto the board, plan your layout carefully, and keep the grid under control. Whenever you complete a full row or a full column, it clears instantly—freeing space and boosting your score. Beyond classic line clears, the game adds a unique strategic twist: the board contains four dark 3×3 zones. If you fully fill any one of these dark 3×3 areas, it also triggers a clear, giving you a powerful way to recover from tight situations. Balancing row/column clears with smart 3×3 zone fills is the key to high scores. With quick sessions and satisfying chain reactions, every move matters. You’ll need sharp observation and forward planning to avoid running out of space and to push your best score higher and higher. Perfect for a relaxing break or a serious high-score challenge.

About

Aurora Harpoon

Read full description

Aurora Harpoon is a fast, skill-based arcade catch shooter set beneath the Antarctic ice. Man the ice-mounted harpoon rig and fire up to three glowing hooks into a living ocean of krill, penguins, seals, dolphins, orca, and colossal whales. Chain your catches to build a roaring combo multiplier, fill the Frenzy meter, and trigger AURORA SURGE — when the whole sea lights up and every point counts double. The big targets fight back. Orca and whales arrive ringed by shields: strip the ring with a quick three-hook burst, then strike the exposed body before it speeds off. And keep watch for the radiant Golden Whale — the rarest catch in the sea. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Quick — a 60-second high-score blast. • Marathon — five minutes to build a monster run. • Endless — no clock, just survival. Avoid the scuba divers… and they multiply the longer you last. One stray hook ends everything. POWER-UPS • Glowing Krill — a three-pronged net spread to clear shields fast. • Ice Crab — freeze the whole sea for the perfect shot. • Aurora Jelly — a jackpot bonus plus a guaranteed Golden Whale. FEATURES • Cool, glassy Antarctic art with an aurora that pulses to your play. • Satisfying juice — icy shard bursts, screen shake, and haptics on every catch. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements across all three modes. • Bite-size sessions built for "just one more round." • Free to play.
