Match. Strategize. Enjoy. Caramel Crushers is a sweet, brain-teasing match-3 puzzle for players who like to think a move ahead. Swap and combine caramels to clear each board — but the obvious match is rarely the best one. Set up chains, trigger cascades, and watch a single well-placed move do the work of five. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - No forced ads. Nothing plays between levels. Nothing interrupts a board. Videos are entirely optional — you watch one only when you choose to, in exchange for a reward. - Skill over luck. Read the board, spot the setup, earn the win. - Boosters for when a board fights back — lollipop hammer, bomb, color switch and color bomb. - Your progress travels with you. Sign in and your levels and coins stay safe, even on a new phone. - Play at your own pace. One level on a commute, or a long evening session. - Simple to learn, hard to master. No walls of tutorial text. HOW IT PLAYS Swap two neighboring caramels to line up three or more. Match four or five to create special pieces, then combine those for board-clearing chain reactions. Each level sets its own goal within a limited number of moves. Running low on moves? Use a booster, take a fresh look, or come back to it later with clear eyes. STUCK? YOUR CALL Out of lives, short on coins, or facing a locked level? Spend the coins you have earned — or watch a short optional video instead, for a booster, a life refill, an extra spin of the wheel, or to unlock the levels ahead. Both routes are always open. Neither is ever forced on you. FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY Caramel Crushers is free to download and free to play. Optional in-app purchases are available for coins, which you can spend on extra lives, boosters and extra moves — but they stay optional. Made by Staraman Games Studios. Thanks for playing.

Drop blocks. Clear lines. Watch the whole world change. Blockrun is a block puzzle you can pick up for one minute or lose an hour to. No timer, no pressure — just you, an 8x8 board, and three pieces at a time. SIX WORLDS THAT SWITCH AS YOU PLAY Clear the board and everything changes: candy, ice, metal, fruit, lava, glow. New blocks, new backdrop, the same board you have learned. BOOSTS WHEN THE BOARD CLOSES IN Bomb a 3x3 hole. Sweep a whole row. Rocket a single piece off the grid. Freeze a piece for later. Any one of them can turn a dead board around. BUILD A RUN, NOT JUST A SCORE Cores you earn mid-run change how scoring works. Nothing multiplies — every bonus is a flat number with a condition attached, so you can always work out what a placement is worth before you make it. PICK YOUR CHARACTER Tap your face in Profile and choose from nine characters. NOTHING LOST Your run is saved the moment you place a piece. Close the app mid-game and it is waiting exactly where you left it. Free to play, with optional diamond packs and a monthly pass.
