Block Drop is a falling-block puzzle built for fast, clean phone play. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. It works offline. Open it and play. FIVE MODES Daily Dig. A new seeded board every day: six rows of garbage, three minutes, the same pieces for everyone. Dig out, score high and keep your daily streak alive. Marathon. Endless. The speed climbs every ten lines. Start at level 1, 5, 10 or 15. Sprint. Forty lines, fastest time wins, timed to the hundredth. Ultra. Two minutes on the clock. Score as high as you can. Zen. No clock and no top out. One calm speed. Stop whenever you like. EVERY CLEAR HAS A NAME One line is a SPARK. Two is a FRACTURE. Three is a CASCADE. Four rows at once is a BLAST. Spin a spire into a wedged gap for a TWIST, land big clears back to back for a CHAIN, keep clearing for a COMBO, and empty the board for a PERFECT WIPE. Every value scales with your level. FEELS RIGHT Modern rotation with wall kicks, a ghost piece, hold, and up to five next pieces. A grounded piece gives you half a second to slide and spin it. Drag, tap and flick on the board, or switch to a button pad with auto-shift delay and repeat rate you can tune. Line clears burst, big clears shake the well, and every move has sound and haptics. PROGRESS Player levels, 18 achievements, five block styles to unlock, lifetime stats, and a local top ten for every mode. Game Center leaderboards on iPhone. FOR EVERYONE Light and dark themes, colour-blind piece marks, reduced motion, large controls, a left-handed layout and a short tutorial. Your scores stay on your device.
