A row of shapes appears. The same row is hiding somewhere on the board in a straight line — across, down or diagonally. Find it, slide your finger through it, move on. No words to read, no rules to learn. You are playing within a second. THREE LIVES, THREE STARS A wrong line costs a life. Finish with lives left and each one turns into a star. Finish flawless and all three are yours, plus a score multiplier. When your eyes just will not find it, a hint marks the next row — and it costs you points. THE BOARD GROWS WITH YOU You start on a small 3x3 grid and work your way up to 10x10. The shapes join one at a time, and you always meet a new one on a calm level. The test comes right after. "ONE MORE LEVEL" Difficulty is not a straight climb: levels to catch your breath, levels that push, a peak every tenth and a real test every hundredth. That is the rhythm that keeps you going. GROW THE STREAK Every day you finish a level is marked on the calendar. Come back tomorrow and the streak grows; collect stars and the badges open up. Every number comes from real play. MAKE IT YOURS Color themes, open to everyone. Of the mascots and app icons you start with one of each — Shapio Plus unlocks the rest. IN YOUR POCKET, ANYWHERE No account, no energy timers, no connection needed. Play it in a queue or on a plane. There is not one word on the board, so the puzzle is the same everywhere; menus and the in-game guide are in 54 languages. SHAPIO PLUS The game shows ads: a card under the board and a full-screen break between levels. Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription — it removes the ads, gives hints without watching a video, and unlocks every mascot and app icon. It does not touch the balance: lives, hint cost and score multipliers are the same whether you buy it or not.
Stack Squeeze
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stack Squeeze is the color sort puzzle where the board shrinks while you play. Sort water-sort style tubes, beat the squeeze, and see how far you can climb. Tap to move colored blocks between tubes and stack every color into its own tube. Sounds easy — but a timer is ticking, and when it runs out the SQUEEZE hits: two tubes merge and you lose a slot. Plan fast, sort smart, finish before the board closes in. EVERY LEVEL PLAYS DIFFERENT • HIDDEN — blocks stay face-down until they reach the top • LOCKED — the last tube is sealed until you earn it • RAPID — half the clock, twice the pressure • NO SQUEEZE — a calm level with no timer • HARD — one spare tube, no room for mistakes • BREATHER — extra space to catch your breath SIX WORLDS TO UNLOCK Travel from Neon Night through Deep Sea, Plum Grove, Midnight, Jungle and Ember. The look changes every ten levels and the boards grow up to 12 colors wide. DAILY SQUEEZE One fresh puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Beat it for stars and gems, then replay it for a better score. STREAKS & REWARDS Play every day to build your streak. Day 3, 7, 14 and 30 pay gem bonuses. GAME CENTER Climb the Best Level, Total Stars and Longest Streak leaderboards and unlock 12 achievements. NEVER STUCK • Undo rewinds a slip • Rewind rescues you from a dead end • Hint shows the best next move • +20s pushes the squeeze back • Every level is verified solvable QUICK TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN A guided first level teaches you in seconds. Endless levels, one-handed play, and sessions that fit anywhere — a perfect brain break. Progress and gems sync across your devices with iCloud. Free to play, with optional gem packs and a one-time Remove Ads purchase. Enjoying the game? A quick rating helps a small studio a lot. Download Stack Squeeze and beat the squeeze today.
