About

Starlit Blocks

Read full description

Find your flow with Starlit Blocks, a relaxing block puzzle designed for quick breaks and satisfying longer sessions. HOW TO PLAY Choose Level Mode or Endless Mode, then drag one of the connected block pieces from the bottom of the screen onto the board. Each piece must fit completely within empty grid cells and cannot overlap blocks already on the board. Complete a full horizontal row or vertical column to clear it and earn points. After every placement, a new set of pieces becomes available. Plan ahead, keep enough space open for different shapes, and create multiple clears to build a higher score. The game ends when none of the available pieces can fit on the board. You can finish the round or voluntarily watch a rewarded ad for a chance to revive and continue. Helpful power-ups are also available during gameplay. FEATURES - Level Mode with clear goals and steady progression - Endless Mode for relaxed, score-focused play - Simple drag-and-place controls - Connected block pieces that encourage spatial planning - Row and column clearing with crisp visual feedback - Gem collection, achievements, and useful power-ups - Multiple music tracks with separate music and sound controls - Local progress with no account or login required - Core gameplay available without an internet connection - English and Simplified Chinese interface Whether you want a calm daily puzzle or a new high-score challenge, Starlit Blocks is ready whenever you are.
