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!

About

Stacked Cubes!

Features
Read full description

One plank. One tower. Two players. Only one gets to place the last block. Stacked Cubes is a turn-based stacking duel. You and your opponent take turns dropping blocks on the same tower, balanced on a plank that tilts with every piece. Cross the dotted line or make the tower fall, and you lose the match. HOW IT WORKS Tap a piece to rotate it, drag it onto the tower to drop it. You have 10 seconds per turn. Build smart: every block you place changes the balance for your opponent too. PLAY YOUR WAY - Play: face a new opponent every match and climb the ranks. - 2 Players: challenge a friend on the same phone, passing it back and forth. CLIMB THE LEAGUES Win matches to earn points and rank up from Bronze to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master and Legend. Every win opens a chest full of coins, and a daily reward waits for you each day. BOOSTERS AND BUBBLES Undo takes back the block you just placed. The Rocket blasts away the bottom row. The Anchor locks the plank level for the rest of the match. Pop the x2 bubble and your opponent must place two blocks in a row! MAKE IT YOURS Pick your name, your avatar, your country flag, your cube color and its finish: classic, foam, metal, chrome, gold or neon. Quick matches, simple rules, and a tower that can fall at any moment.
