Blocks is a block puzzle with no ads and no tracking. Drag pieces onto the board, fill a row, a column or one of the nine 3×3 boxes, and watch it clear. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: Play until nothing fits. Bigger pieces turn up as the game goes on. • Daily: Ninety seconds, the same pieces for everyone that day. Keep your streak going. • Blitz: Every ten moves, a stray block lands on the board. • Target: Clear the lines and boxes holding stars, collect enough of them to level up. • Puzzles: 100 handmade levels with a goal. Solve each with as few pieces as you can for three stars. ROOM TO THINK • See the next three pieces before they arrive. • Park a piece in the hold slot and come back to it. • Undo your last move for a few points. • Combos keep building, even through a miss or two. • Earn bombs and rotates as you play to get out of a tight spot. MAKE IT YOURS • Light or dark, and block skins you unlock with achievements. • Optional calm background music. • Shape marks on blocks for colour-blind players, and full VoiceOver support. NOTHING IN THE WAY No ads. No pop-up between games. Nothing about how you play is tracked or sold. Scores, stats and achievements live on your device, and deleting the app deletes all of them. If you use Game Center, your scores can also appear on its leaderboards. Free, in full, for everyone.
