Read full description

Crate Bloom is a minimalist puzzle game about movement, timing, and flowers. Choose a crate, send it sliding, and use the environment to stop it in exactly the right place. When a crate reaches its matching bloom spot, a flower opens. Every move matters. The early levels are easy to understand, then new mechanics gradually change how you plan: 1. Fixed stones that shape each route 2. Cracked stones that can be broken 3. Rotatable crates that change movement options 4. Bloom gates that open only when conditions are met 5. Compact handcrafted puzzles with satisfying animations There is no visible grid and no timer pressure. Just clear interactions, thoughtful puzzles, and a small garden that comes alive one bloom at a time. Play in short sessions or settle in to solve the full set of levels. The core puzzle experience can be enjoyed offline.

Choose colorful Bloctopuses, spray pixels, and clear every cube from the 3D model. Pixel Town: Cube Blast 3D is a color puzzle built from bright 3D pixel art. Bloctopuses are block-headed octopuses, and each one sprays pixels of a single color. Pick the right one, watch the model come apart layer by layer, and see what appears underneath. HOW TO PLAY • Look at the colors showing on the 3D model. • Tap a Bloctopus whose color you can see. • It hops onto the belt and sprays that color away. • If it still has pixels left after a lap, it comes back and takes a slot. • Clear every cube to finish the level. CHOOSE THE RIGHT BLOCTOPUS A Bloctopus can only clear its own color. Tap one whose color isn't showing anywhere on the model and it circles the belt with nothing to do — then comes back and takes one of your waiting slots. PLAN THE ORDER You only have a few slots. Every Bloctopus that comes back full fills one of them, so think before each tap. Which color is exposed right now? Which one should go first? What's hiding underneath? WATCH THE MODEL COME APART Matching cubes burst away with every spray. Outer layers fall and new colors appear underneath — cute animals, gift boxes, buildings, food, and many other colorful creations. FEATURES • Simple one-tap controls, no reflexes needed • Bright 3D pixel and cube graphics • Color-matching and order-based puzzles • Limited slots that require planning • Satisfying cube-clearing effects • New models and layouts as you progress Choose the right Bloctopus. Match the colors. Clear every cube. Download Pixel Town: Cube Blast 3D and start solving colorful 3D pixel puzzles.
