About

Pip Blast

Read full description

Pip Blast is a cozy dice puzzle with a simple idea: place dice on the grid, and when a row or column sums to the target, it blasts. You get a limited number of rolls. Every placement counts and every game ends. The only question is how high you can push your score before the dice run out. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag dice from the tray onto the board. • Rows and columns clear when their dice sum to the target. • Clear several lines at once for combo scores: two lines are worth four times one. • Keep blasting roll after roll to build your streak multiplier. THE DAILY CHALLENGE One board a day, the same dice for everyone, one attempt. Finish it to grow your streak, and see where you land on the worldwide leaderboard. Miss a day and the streak is gone. That's what makes it matter. THREE BOARDS • Easy: 5×5, 2 dice per roll. Free, and a complete game. • Classic: 6×6, 3 dice. Pip Blast the way it's meant to be played. • Expert: 8×8, 4 dice. Sprawling, unforgiving, beautiful. FREE AND FAIR The free game is complete: the Easy board and the Daily Challenge, forever. One optional purchase, Pip Blast Pro, unlocks Classic, Expert, and undo. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Nothing else to buy, ever. ALSO IN THE BOX • Game Center leaderboards for every board and the daily. • Careful haptics that make combos feel as big as they are. • Dark and light themes, Reduce Motion support, a VoiceOver-playable board. Roll well.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pip Blast at Free against Cascadou's $4.99. Pip Blast also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Cascadou's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
