Block puzzle meets color match. Place pieces on the board and connect four or more cells of the same color — in a row, an L, a square, any shape at all — and they burn away with a satisfying flash. Every piece can carry up to three colors, so the smartest drops set off two or three burns at once. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most block puzzles ask you to fill rows. Here the board follows color. A group burns only when the piece you've just placed touches it, so you decide what burns and when. Build up a big group of seven or more, and it takes the neighbors with it, whatever their color. CHAIN THE COMBO Burn on move after move and the combo multiplier grows to ×5 — that's where the high scores live. One quiet move is forgiven; two in a row break the streak. Set off several groups in a single drop for double and triple bonuses, and clear the whole board for the biggest payoff of all. BOOSTERS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM • Rotate — turn every piece in the tray with one tap. • Swap — deal three fresh pieces. • Dynamite — blow a 3×3 hole anywhere on the board. You start with a set of charges, and every run earns coins for more. ONE MORE CHANCE Out of room? Once per run, take a second life: the board partially clears and you keep going, with your score intact. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Portrait or landscape, phone or tablet. A warm sunset scene, chunky glossy blocks, big juicy burns and haptic feedback on every move. QUICK TO PICK UP • A run lasts two to four minutes — ideal for a break. • A three-move tutorial teaches everything you need. • Your best score and unfinished run save automatically. • Works offline. No account, no sign-up. • Available in 16 languages. Block & Color is free to play with optional in-app purchases.

Slice the stack. Time the drop. Land the ball. Sliceball is a one-tap timing game built around a single perfect moment - the instant you stop slicing and let the ball fall. Hold to carve down through the stack, release at the right height, and the ball drops clean onto the table. Release too early and it never lands. Hold too long and it shatters. That is the whole game. It takes five seconds to learn and a lot longer to get good at. FEATURES - Over 200 hand-built levels that get genuinely tricky - Five rooms, and the room changes every 20 levels - One-tap, one-handed controls - hold to slice, release to drop - Real physics: every slice tumbles and falls differently - A shop full of unlockable skins - swap the ball for an eyeball, a bomb or a spiked mine, or trade sticky notes for cheese, notepaper, poker chips, cards, cartridges or vinyl - Earn coins by clearing levels and spend them in the shop - Plays fully offline - no wifi needed - Free to play, no in-app purchases WHY YOU WILL KEEP PLAYING Every level is a reflex test you can read in a second and miss in a hundred ways. The slicing feels good, the landing is satisfying, and a run takes about fifteen seconds - right for a queue, a commute, or ten minutes before bed. No timers. No lives. No waiting. Just slice, drop, and go again. Free to play, supported by ads.
