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. THEME PACKS Change the look of every block on the board. Halloween is free for everyone until Nov 15: animated mummies, zombies, ghosts, skulls, pumpkins and eyeballs, with haunted backdrops in Endless and the Daily Challenge. Brick Blocks is free too. Wood, Flowers, Fruity, Bedazzled and Cozy unlock with coins you earn playing. Preview any pack on a live board first, and switch back to classic blocks anytime. 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. WORLD AFTER WORLD Start in Lagoon, then work through Pirate Cove, Neon City, Dinoland, Volcano and beyond, with more worlds on the way. Each world has its own painting and its own step up in difficulty, and later worlds each bring a signature rule of their own. 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

Find every fool in the court. Jester Sweep is a relaxing logic puzzle built around three simple rules — and zero guessing. Every colored court hides exactly one jester. No two jesters can share the same row or column, and no two can touch, even diagonally. Every puzzle begins with one jester already placed. From that single clue, logic is all you need. Each court is generated and verified to have exactly one valid solution, so every victory comes from deduction, not luck. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a square to mark it with an X • Double-tap a square to place a jester • Protect your three jester hats — they're your lives SIMPLE RULES. BIGGER CHALLENGES. Start with compact 5x5 courts and work your way up to challenging 8x8 puzzles. The rules stay the same as the courts grow larger and more complex. A NEW DAILY COURT Reach Level 20 to unlock the Daily Court. A brand-new puzzle arrives every day with a streak to protect. Play seven days in a row to earn bonus Reveals and Hints. COMPETE WITH FRIENDS Climb the Game Center leaderboards by reaching higher courts and building longer Daily Court streaks. Unlock achievements for milestones including: • Completing your first court • Solving a flawless court with no mistakes • Building 7-day and 30-day streaks • Mastering 100 courts and beyond COLOR BLIND MODE Jester Sweep includes a Color Blind Mode designed to make courts easier to distinguish without relying on color alone.

When you need a little help: • Reveal places a jester for you • Hint narrows down a row to help you continue solving Use them when a court finally fights back. PLAY ANYTIME No internet connection required. No timers rushing you. Your progress saves automatically, so you can leave a puzzle and return exactly where you left off. Relax, think, and solve at your own pace. Quiet. Colorful. Pure logic. Find every jester. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
