Blocknado is a retro falling block puzzle with a twist, literally! The floor rotates and you fill in rings instead of rows. It has vibrant retro colours, satisfying animations and really rewarding payoffs, and I would love for you to give it a go. WHAT YOU GET There is an endless marathon to get lost in, a run of authored levels to work through, and your best games are saved so you can sit back and watch them again. The whole game runs on your own device, so it plays offline on the bus, on a plane, or anywhere the signal gives up. No wifi needed once it is installed. Blocknado is free, and it shows ads. One purchase removes them permanently, and that is the only thing on sale in the whole app. HOW IT PLAYS Blocks fall toward a small square core in the middle of the board. Drag them across, tap to rotate them, flick to send them down. Fill a whole ring and it collapses, everything outside it falls inward, and if that fills another ring the rest of the board comes tumbling in behind it. Flick a piece hard and it slams home and torques the floor a quarter turn, so the wall you built up one side arrives along the bottom. If you grew up with one of those little handheld brick games, the stacking will feel familiar right away. CLASSIC Endless, scored, and faster every few minutes. The world's top ten sit on the home screen, and you can watch the runs that got them there. PUZZLE Authored levels in four difficulty bands: Easy, Medium, Hard and Wild. If you fill all the goal blocks you get one or two stars, and three stars for an identical match. SIGHT AND SOUND Pixel art icons, a chunky pixel display font, and light and dark themes that follow whichever one your phone is set to. The originally 8bit soundtrack adds another layer as your board fills up, and collapses land on the beat. NEW TO IT A short tutorial shows you the ropes: drag, tap to rotate, flick to drop. It takes a couple of minutes and then the board is yours.

A red button. Someone asking you not to press it. And a room waiting to fill with treasure. Press the button, fill the bar, and make new chests appear. Open them, collect the loot, and decide how to spend your coins: fewer pushes per bar, more chests, or more valuable treasures. Rebirth to spend your souls in the skill constellation. Unlock goblins that press, open, and collect for you, along with chest merging, potions, and powers that change the way you play. Each branch ends with an extraordinary ability. Discover 40 collectibles, find golden variants, and build a collection that keeps growing from one rebirth to the next. A medieval room, carefully crafted sound, and a downstairs neighbour with plenty to say about all of it.
