Tap to drop. The block above slides back and forth — let go at the wrong moment and the overhang shears away, and your tower gets narrower. Land it dead centre and you get that width back. That is the whole game. It takes five seconds to understand and a long time to be good at. THREE MODES NORMAL — just the tower. Every miss costs you width, every perfect drop hands some back, and the block speeds up the higher you climb. Sooner or later it outruns you. ARCADE — pickups hang out to the sides. Swing a block wide to catch a Widen, a Slow, a double-points streak. Reaching one costs you width, so every pickup is a decision rather than a gift. Some of them bite: Overdrive triples your score and makes the block fly, Flipped turns the screen upside down. And a few you steer around entirely. GRAVITY — nothing is trimmed. Every block lands whole, in whatever width you are dealt, and the tower leans according to where the weight sits. Stack too much to one side and it goes over. A narrow block placed off-centre is a counterweight; a wide one is ballast you have to think about. WHAT IS IN IT - One tap. No buttons, no menus to learn. - Plays offline, on a plane, anywhere. - No account, no sign-up — just open it and play. - A separate high score for each mode. - Its own sound for every drop, trim, and perfect landing — or play it silent, your call. - Colorblind-friendly colors, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion support. - Share your run as a card that draws the tower you actually built. - Optional one-off purchase removes the ads for good. Built for iPhone and iPad.

About

Unpin Please

Features
Read full description

Unpin Please is a puzzle game about taking plates off a board. Each plate is held by one screw. Drag the plate along its slot and the screw slides toward the open end. When it gets there the plate comes loose. Get every plate loose and the level is done. The part that makes it a puzzle is that loose plates don't disappear. They stay on the board and you have to move them around by hand. If you free the wrong plate first, it ends up sitting in the way of the next one, and there's no putting a screw back. So you have to think about the order, and about where you leave things. Levels start simple and get pretty tight. Later on the board is almost full and the last few plates only come out if everything else has been pushed into exactly the right spot. Features: - Boards in lots of shapes: corridors, rooms with doors, crosses, spirals, rings - Plates of different sizes, including long ones and bent ones that turn as they slide - Some levels are built on a diagonal, with angled walls and angled plates - You can slide a plate part way and leave it there, which is often the trick - A timer on each level - Every level has a solution. Nothing is random and nothing depends on luck If you like sliding block puzzles or unblock-style games and want something with a bit more going on, give it a try.
