Challenge your spatial mind with Spatial Block, the ultimate 3D logic puzzle! Rotate and guide falling blocks in a 3D grid cage to clear complete layers. Combining classic block puzzle mechanics with a full 3D spatial experience, it offers both relaxation and a serious brain workout. [ How to Play & Controls ] Playing in 3D is simple and intuitive: Move Block: Swipe in the direction you want the block to slide (Left, Right, Forward, or Backward). Rotate Block: Tap anywhere on the screen to rotate the block horizontally on its Y-axis. Vertical Rotate: Tap the "ROT X" button to rotate the block vertically on its X-axis. 3D Camera & Inspection: Drag or swipe with two fingers to freely rotate the 3D grid cage and view from any angle—including directly from underneath—with seamless auto-snap back to the front. Keep Block: Tap the "KEEP" button to store a block and swap it later. Drop Block (Hard & Soft Drop): Tap "DROP": Instantly drops the block to the bottom (Hard Drop). In EASY mode, you get a 1.0s grace period to slide or rotate the block upon landing; in NORMAL mode, it instantly locks in place. Hold "DROP": Rapidly lowers the block (Soft Drop), allowing smooth positioning and landing. Key Features: Immersive 3D Gameplay: Move and rotate blocks along multiple axes in a transparent, beautifully designed 3D grid cage. Dual Difficulty Modes: Choose between EASY (relaxed pace with generous recovery grace) and NORMAL (classic, competitive instant-lock challenge). 360° Free Camera Inspection: View your puzzle from any perspective, including from below, to master every layer. Smooth & Intuitive Controls: Custom-tuned for touchscreens and mobile devices. Local Save & High Scores: Resume your game anytime and track your personal bests across both difficulty modes.
