FALLMATCH is a logic block puzzle game with gravity. Slide a block left or right, and matching patterns clear when they touch. Rotate the board, flip it, and gravity does the rest. No timer, no lives, no ads. Just you and the board. A BRAIN PUZZLE, NOT A REFLEX TEST Every board has a proven best solution. The 3-star target is the real minimum number of moves, found by a solver before the level shipped. If it says 6, then 6 is possible and 5 is not. Think first, then move. THE NUMBERS 400 campaign levels 500 ladder levels 900 unique puzzle boards 10 difficulty tiers, from VERY EASY to NIGHTMARE 9 languages DIFFICULTY IS MEASURED, NOT GUESSED Each board carries a score built from its solution depth, how narrow the path is, and how easily a careless move kills the board. That score decides its tier, so the puzzles get harder at a steady pace. CAMPAIGN 400 logic puzzles grouped into chapters. Special moves unlock as you go: rotate, flip, tumble. Some boards have a broken frame. A block that slides through a gap is gone for good. LADDER Ten rungs, one per difficulty tier. Stars are the score, every cleared board climbs, 30 stars is a perfect run. No hints. Leaving a board ends the run. DAILY PUZZLE One fresh board every day, the same for everyone. Keep a streak, save your result card and share it. A streak earns hints at 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and a streak freeze covers a day you miss. WEEKLY One harder board every Monday, the same for everyone. Finish it and you earn a hint; take all three stars and you earn three. It opens once you have 30 stars. OPTIONAL EXTRAS All of the above is free. If you want more, there is a one-time PREMIUM (every level unlocked, skip any level, a bigger hint pool plus 25 bonus hints) and hint packs that never expire. No subscriptions, and still no ads. OFFLINE, NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT Play offline anywhere. Optional play stats help us tune the levels: a random ID only, no name or email, no tracking across apps, nothing is sold. If you like block puzzle games, logic puzzles and brain teasers without a clock, FALLMATCH was built for you.

Blocknado is a retro falling block puzzle with a twist, literally! The floor rotates and you fill in rings instead of rows. It has vibrant retro colours, satisfying animations and really rewarding payoffs, and I would love for you to give it a go. WHAT YOU GET There is an endless marathon to get lost in, a run of authored levels to work through, and your best games are saved so you can sit back and watch them again. The whole game runs on your own device, so it plays offline on the bus, on a plane, or anywhere the signal gives up. No wifi needed once it is installed. Blocknado is free, and it shows ads. One purchase removes them permanently, and that is the only thing on sale in the whole app. HOW IT PLAYS Blocks fall toward a small square core in the middle of the board. Drag them across, tap to rotate them, flick to send them down. Fill a whole ring and it collapses, everything outside it falls inward, and if that fills another ring the rest of the board comes tumbling in behind it. Flick a piece hard and it slams home and torques the floor a quarter turn, so the wall you built up one side arrives along the bottom. If you grew up with one of those little handheld brick games, the stacking will feel familiar right away. CLASSIC Endless, scored, and faster every few minutes. The world's top ten sit on the home screen, and you can watch the runs that got them there. PUZZLE Authored levels in four difficulty bands: Easy, Medium, Hard and Wild. If you fill all the goal blocks you get one or two stars, and three stars for an identical match. SIGHT AND SOUND Pixel art icons, a chunky pixel display font, and light and dark themes that follow whichever one your phone is set to. The originally 8bit soundtrack adds another layer as your board fills up, and collapses land on the beat. NEW TO IT A short tutorial shows you the ropes: drag, tap to rotate, flick to drop. It takes a couple of minutes and then the board is yours.
