Block Forge is a block puzzle you can sit with for one move or for an hour. Journey is where it starts: 60 levels, each with its own board and a three-star target. Drag pieces onto the 8×8 grid, fill a row or a column, and watch it go — sparks, a combo that climbs to ×5, and a thump you feel on every clear. Endless unlocks at level 5. No timer. No countdown. Nothing hurrying you. WHAT'S IN IT • Endless — one more move, and then one more • Journey — 60 levels, each with its own board and a three-star target • Daily Challenge — the same board for everyone, a new one every day • Drop Forge — pieces come down the well and you decide where they land • Boosters — Hammer, Swap, Undo and the Blaster • Ranks from Ember to Master, with your progress after every run • Four board themes, if you want a different room to play in WHEN THE BOARD GETS TIGHT A tight board is not the end of it. The Blaster clears a whole row or column, the Hammer takes a single square, and in Endless and the Daily Challenge, when nothing in the tray fits any more, the forge re-forges the tray for you — up to three times a game. COINS, PACKS AND THE PIGGY BANK Coins come from playing: cleared lines, stars, the seven-day calendar and the day's quests. They buy boosters and board themes. The piggy bank fills while you play and can be opened as a purchase once there is enough inside. Launch Pack and Forge Master Pack bundle coins, boosters and No Ads, which removes all interstitial and banner ads forever. Optional reward videos stay available for bonus coins. Plays offline. No account. Seventeen languages. Get forging!

Block Craze is a block puzzle you can pick up in ten seconds and still be playing six months later. Drag shapes onto the grid. Fill a row or a column and it blasts. Tap a piece to turn it if it's facing the wrong way. There's no timer and no lives, so you can think as long as you like, and the whole game runs offline. HOW IT PLAYS Three pieces at a time. Place them all and three more arrive. Leave yourself no room and the run ends. The rule takes five seconds to learn, and then every drop is a decision about the drop after it. THE PIECES KEEP COMING You start with squares and lines. By the time you're deep in you're fitting plus signs, U-blocks, W-staggers and long diagonals into gaps that look too small for them. New shapes are still showing up past level 60. THE BOARD DOESN'T STAY A SQUARE From level 5, the grid starts losing pieces of itself: clipped corners, staircases, side bites, octagons, diamonds, hourglasses, arrows. There's one hollow-centre vault you'll meet exactly once. Later on, gem blocks and coin blocks appear on the board, and ice that takes more than one clear to break. WHEN YOU GET STUCK Bombs blow a hole through the middle. Lasers fire straight down a line. Hammers take out one stubborn tile. You earn them with combos, buy them with coins you've won, or watch an ad and take one. CHAINS AND FRENZY Clear two or more lines in one drop and the FRENZY meter charges. Fill it and the board goes into FRENZY, where scores climb and the screen stops behaving. Finish the level while it's running and you get paid for it. Empty the board completely and you get an ALL CLEAR bonus on top, which is the best feeling in the game. 150 LEVELS, 10 WORLDS Lagoon, Sunset, Meadow, Candyland, Deep Sea, Aurora, Ember, Nebula, Glacier, Royal. Each one has its own art, its own music and its own step up in difficulty. Past level 32 the score target stops being the only thing you're chasing: clear so many lines, collect so many gems, hit a combo, wipe out the blocks you started with. ENDLESS One board, no target, nothing to reach. Waves escalate as your score climbs and the board creeps toward full, so every run has an ending waiting for it. Your five best are saved on your device. A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge is tuned to how far you've come. Keep the streak alive and it pays better. THINGS TO COLLECT Every shape, arena and special block you play gets added to an album, and the ones you haven't found sit there as silhouettes. Thirty achievements pay out coins when you claim them. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT Free to play Works fully offline, no wifi required No account, no sign-up, no email Progress saved on your device Fine for two minutes, fine for an hour Bright art, big effects, and music worth leaving on
