HappyBlockBox is a colourful 8x8 block puzzle built around satisfying placements and one simple rule: fill an entire row or column to trigger a Surge. There is no energy or lives. Pick a piece, tap or drag it onto the board, and chase the next perfect clear. THE SURGE Every piece carries its own colour. When a complete row or column is filled, it bursts into light and clears from the board. Keep clearing to build your Combo and earn bigger scores. POWER PIECES Bombs clear a 3x3 area. Beams clear a row and column. Prisms recolour nearby blocks. Power Pieces are available through play and never sit behind a paywall. LUCKY STARS Watch for a glowing Lucky Star on an empty cell. Cover it with a block to collect a bonus score boost. WAYS TO PLAY Endless mode is a calm, open-ended board. Daily Challenge gives everyone the same board of the day. Levels provide score targets and unlock progressively as you complete them. MADE TO FIT YOU HappyBlockBox supports tap-to-place as well as drag-to-place. Settings let you tailor background music, sound effects, and haptic feedback. FAIR AND OPTIONAL HappyBlockBox is designed to be enjoyed at your pace. There are no subscriptions, consumable currencies, loot boxes, or gameplay timers.

WordFixOr is a word repair puzzle game about finding confident-looking wrong letters and restoring each board back to its correct crossword shape. Each puzzle begins with several incorrect letters already placed on the board. The player's job is to inspect the grid, identify the bad letters, and repair them with the correct letters. The game is built for short, focused sessions with clear progress, strong tactile feedback, and multiple challenge styles. ## Core Gameplay - Tap a wrong tile to repair it. - Tap a correct tile or empty space carefully, because mistakes can break a clean run. - Long-press a word to scan how many targets remain in that word. - Finish a full word to build score bonuses. - Use hints when allowed, but hints reduce the final score. - Complete the full board to record the result. ## Main Modes Classic mode is the standard game. There is no timer, so players can focus on careful word repair. Sprint mode adds a countdown timer. Players must repair the full board before time runs out. Precision mode limits mistakes. Hints are locked, and the run ends after too many misses. Par Lock mode challenges players to finish within the puzzle's par move count. Glitch Run mode adds instability. Every fourth successful repair can cause one repaired tile to slip back into a wrong letter, forcing the player to recover from a moving board state. ## Daily Game The Daily Game gives players a date-based puzzle with daily task goals. Daily tasks include finishing without hints, finishing within par, and completing a clean sheet with no misses. ## Boss Board Boss Board is a larger special puzzle using Glitch Run rules. It is separate from normal level progress and is designed as a higher-pressure challenge for players who want a more demanding session. ## Progress WordFixOr tracks wins, streaks, perfect runs, best score, best combo, challenge wins, Boss Board wins, and completed daily tasks. Progress is stored locally on the device. ## Audio and Feedback The game includes background music, click sounds, success sounds, warning sounds, and haptic feedback. These can be adjusted from Settings.
