A satisfying block puzzle with four ways to play. Place glossy, colorful pieces, plan a clever clear, and make room for your next move. Florbits brings classic line clearing, shape puzzles, leaf-collection goals, and rising-block challenges together in one game. FIND YOUR FAVORITE MODE • Freeplay — Clear rows and columns on an 8×8 board. Build combos and chase your personal best at your own pace. • Mosaic — Fit the supplied pieces into a silhouette. Pick up and reposition pieces until everything fits. Larger puzzles have paged trays that move to the next unfinished page. • Expedition — Clear boards or collect the leaf types shown in your goal. Discover varied puzzles, growing collection targets, and occasional shorter levels along the way. • Surge — Clear a finite wave of rising blocks. Preview the next burst before you place; clearing a line pauses the rise. MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT Preview legal placements and the lines you can clear. Clear several lines at once, chain consecutive clears, and collect leaf bonuses. Every piece has a fixed orientation; block colors do not need to match. EARN YOUR MILESTONES Track 18 achievements, from your first all-clear to score, combo, leaf and level milestones. Connect to Game Center to share achievement progress and compete on four leaderboards: Freeplay score and completed Surge, Expedition and Mosaic stages. Core gameplay works offline without an account. PLAY YOUR WAY • Drag a piece, or select it and tap to place. • Choose Light or Dark appearance and an optional color-blind display. • Adjust music, sound effects and haptics separately. • Continue your saved board in each mode, even before your first move. • Try optional practice and replay completed Expedition and Mosaic levels. • See run results and your next achievement milestone. • Sync best scores and unlocked stages through iCloud when available. All four modes are free to play, supported by banners during gameplay and ads at natural breaks. One permanent Remove Ads purchase makes the full game ad-free. No subscriptions, paid lives, energy systems or purchases required to progress.
