Read full description

Stackbound is the block puzzle that finally gives you a reason to keep playing. Drop blocks on a 10x10 grid, clear rows and columns, and chain combos for huge scores - then turn every game into a roguelike run. Every few line clears you draft one of three relics: refill cleared columns, triple every fifth clear, bank gold, and dozens more that stack into wild combos. Survive deep enough and a boss floor appears, bending the rules with locked cells, shorter racks, or score taxes you have to play around. No two runs feel the same. A daily seeded run gives everyone the same board, so you can chase the top of your local leaderboard. Between runs, persistent meta progress unlocks new relics and grid skins that carry forward - the deck of possibilities grows the more you play. FEATURES - 10x10 block puzzle with satisfying row and column clears - Roguelike runs: draft relics, build synergies, push your score - Boss floors every ten floors that change how you play - Daily seeded challenge with a local leaderboard - Persistent meta unlocks: new relics and grid skins - Endless mode for a relaxed score chase - One-handed portrait play, dark mode, and Dynamic Type support - Play free, or unlock Premium once to remove ads forever and open every skin and bonus relic slot Free to play with optional ads. Go Premium with a single one-time purchase - no subscriptions.

Block Peak is a calm, fair block puzzle game you can play anywhere — no internet needed to play. Drag pieces onto the 8Ɨ8 board, fill a row or a column to clear it, and chain clears into combos for big scores. Easy to learn, satisfying to master, and a great way to train your brain for five minutes or fifty. WHY BLOCK PEAK • Always solvable. Every set of three pieces is checked before you get it, so a valid move always exists. You never lose to an impossible hand — only to your own choices. • Play offline. Classic, Daily, Zen and the other modes run on your device. No account or login required. • No ads during play. No banners, nothing popping up mid-game. Rewarded videos are optional and only offered when a game ends. • Fair helpers. Hint, Undo, Bomb and Swap are earned by playing — never sold. HOW TO PLAY • Drag a block onto the grid, or tap to place if you prefer. • Complete full rows or columns to clear them. • Clear on back-to-back moves to keep your combo alive; a short grace window forgives a quiet move. • Empty the whole board for a perfect-clear bonus. • Clear a line through a golden cell for extra points. MODES • Classic — the endless block puzzle. Chase your best score. • Daily Challenge — the same board for every player, every day. Keep your streak and replay past days in the archive. • Weekly Challenge — one shared board all week long. • Zen — relaxed play, no pressure. • Timed — a 3-minute sprint. • Limited — make the most of 40 moves. There is no time limit outside Timed mode.
