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!
