Brickado is a fast, relaxing block puzzle game with a twist. Drag pieces onto a 10x10 board to fill whole rows and columns. Every full line clears and scores points. Simple to learn, endlessly replayable, and perfectly paced for a quick break or a long session. HOW TO PLAY • You get 3 pieces at a time, each in a random orientation. • Drag them onto the board to complete rows or columns. • Clear several lines at once for bigger scores. • The game ends when none of your pieces fit, so plan ahead! POWER-UPS • Bomb: drag it onto the board to blast a 3x3 area clear when you're stuck. • Shuffle: swap all 3 waiting pieces for new ones. • Rotate: unlock rotation and turn any piece until you place the next one. • Hold: bank a piece for later and bring it back whenever you need it. BONUS COMBOS Clear 4 or more lines at once to earn a bonus Rotate, 5 or more for a Shuffle too, and 6 for a Bomb as well. Clear the whole board for a bonus Bomb. The bigger your plays, the more tools you get to keep going. FEATURES • 11 piece shapes, from classic blocks to a tricky 3x3 box • No timers, no forced ads: play at your own pace • Optional rewarded videos for an extra power-up or a second chance • No account needed, start playing instantly • Clean, dark design that's easy on the eyes Simple rules, deep strategy.
