PURE 3DTRIS — Tetris, reimagined in three dimensions. Look down into a deep well and guide falling tetracubes to the floor. Slide them across the 8×8 space, rotate them on all three axes, and build the formations that clear. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Lines — clear any full row or column. Easy to pick up; your score is the lines you clear. • Layers — clear an entire 8×8 floor. The real challenge, scored by points. Each mode keeps its own leaderboard. FULL 3D CONTROL • Rotate on X, Y and Z with six buttons — or switch to touch and spin the piece with your finger, with a slider for the third axis. • Turn the whole well 90° to face a hidden side and fill it. • Peek around while playing, or pause to inspect freely: drag to orbit, pinch to zoom. MORE • An overhead map that doubles as a control: tap a square to send the piece there. • A danger alarm when the stack nears the rim. • Arcade three-letter initials on the leaderboards. • English and Spanish, switchable in the app. • A built-in How to Play walkthrough. • Universal — plays on iPhone and iPad. Free to play, three games a day. Unlock unlimited play once, forever, with a single purchase. No ads. No accounts. Just depth, rotation and a clear line of sight to your next move.
