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.

About

Irodori Block

Features
Read full description

Blocks wrapped in traditional Japanese chiyogami paper patterns. Place them on an 8x8 board, one quiet move at a time. Fill a row or column and it clears with a gentle sound. Line up eight cells of the same pattern and you land a "Sai Clear" โ€” your score surges, and the board rewards you with a little burst of color. It is a small satisfaction you will only find in this game. EASY TO PLAY Just drag and drop three pieces at a time onto the board. There are no time limits โ€” think each move through, or place pieces at your own quick rhythm. When nothing fits anymore, the round comes to a close. COLLECT THE COLORS OF THE SEASONS The more you play, the more you unlock: chiyogami palettes for each of the 24 sekki, the traditional solar terms of the Japanese calendar. From Risshun, the first breath of spring, to Daikan, the deepest cold of winter, gather the colors of the seasons and use them to dress up your board. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - No ads on the board while you play - Piece draws are completely random (no score-based manipulation) - Every feature works offline - No account, no sign-up โ€” your data stays on your device This app is free and supported by ads. Ads appear only on the home screen, on the results screen, and between rounds โ€” never over the board during play. Five minutes on your commute, or a quiet moment before bed. A small, satisfying clear, painted in the colors of Japan.
