Your mission is simple but endlessly challenging: complete solid rows to clear them, keep the board under control, and survive as long as you possibly can. How It Works: • Place one block at a time, exactly where you want it • Fill an entire horizontal row to clear it and free up space • Work through your queue, new pieces are dealt in sets of 3, and you must place all three before the next set arrives • No skipping, no dropping pieces you don't like, every block must find a home • Keep the stack low and the board alive! Game Features: • Easy to Learn, Endlessly Addictive Pick up and play in seconds.

Swap Sticks is a satisfying puzzle game where you swap colorful stick stacks and create the perfect alignments! Move stacks around the grid and arrange sticks of the same color in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines. When matching sticks line up correctly, they pop and disappear! Each stack can contain up to three sticks with different rotations, so every swap can change the board in unexpected ways. With limited moves available, you'll need to plan carefully and make every swap count. Clear all the sticks from the board before you run out of moves to complete the level. Can you find the perfect swaps and pop them all? Enjoy.
