Pipe Burst
Read full descriptionHide full description
The flooz doesn't wait. Pipe Burst is an endless arcade of pipe-laying panic. Random pipe pieces land in your queue โ you place them, one by one, wherever you can. When the countdown hits zero, the flooz starts flowing. It never stops, it never slows down for you, and it will pour out of any open end you failed to close. Build ahead of it or drown in it. THE SEWERS โ route the flooz from the inlet to the tank. Reach it and the whole board FLUSHES for a bonus that grows every level, the level number ticks up, and the map rerolls: new inlet, new tank, new broken brickwork, faster flow. Every level is a fresh puzzle at a worse speed. LAUNCH fires the flooz home at 8ร โ even during the countdown โ and every pipe you lay under fire that the flooz then uses pays extra. Route through the ร2 square to double the level's bonus; every pipe the flooz never touched costs you at the flush. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. THE QUEUE IS NOT. - You never choose your next piece โ a random queue forces you to improvise - Replace a laid pipe in an emergency โ but wrenches are strictly rationed - Pop drifting bubbles for perks... if you dare tap over a live board - Cross-pipes score big when the flooz runs through both ways - The longer you survive, the faster it flows Every run ends one way: a SURVIVAL REPORT and a score. Beat your best, then take on the world on the all-time and weekly leaderboards. THE DAILY SHIFT โ three new boards every day, the same for everyone: EASY 6ร6, MEDIUM 7ร7 and HARD 8ร8. Each deals one exact run of pipes, you get one run at each, and every size keeps its own streak. Free to play. A single one-time Premium upgrade removes all ads and puts your name on the leaderboard โ no subscriptions, no pay-to-win, no buying your way out of the flooz. Inspired by the classic pipe-laying arcade games of the late '80s, rebuilt as a modern endless score-chaser. Industrial grime, glowing green sludge, and the sweetest sound in the world: a full board flushing clean.
Blocki

Blocki is a block-fitting game, calm and with a friendly face. You drag pieces onto the board, complete rows or columns, and they clear. That is all. No clock rushing you, no lives running out right when it gets interesting: if you get stuck, come back whenever you like and the level is exactly where you left it. 700 LEVELS, ALL BEATABLE Not one shipped without checking. Every level is solved by a program before it goes into the game โ and not a perfect one: one that plays the way you would, without seeing the future. If it can finish, so can you. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The same one for everyone, with a streak for consecutive days. Hard, but there is always a way through. FIT MODE: 400 PUZZLES No lines to clear here: you fill the whole shape without leaving a single gap. This is the mode for thinking slowly. EIGHT WORLDS, EIGHT THEMES The map is a train carrying your blocks from world to world: the sea, space, the city, the snow. The gems you earn buy themes that repaint the whole game. PLAY ANYWHERE Works offline. On the underground, in a waiting room, on a plane. ALSO ยท Six languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Italian. ยท Optional timer, if you like racing yourself. ยท Reduced motion mode; music and sound effects switch off separately. ยท Undo, swap your pieces, and a hammer for the block that is in your way. Blocki is free and pays for itself with ads. If you would rather play without them, a single purchase removes them for good; it restores from Settings if you change device. Blocki is made by Plutonia.
