About

Carve Rush

Features
Read full description

Carve The Log is a satisfying 3D wood carving puzzle where every chisel counts. Tap colored chisels, place them into the holder rack, and match them with the exposed rings on the log. Each chisel has limited carving power, so choose the right order, manage your slots, and clear every layer before the rack gets stuck. Carve colorful rings from outside to inside, reveal new layers, solve tricky blockers, and complete each wooden object piece by piece. Simple to play, satisfying to carve, and clever to master.

Build a tower of blocks. When six of the same kind touch, they turn to gold. Only gold counts as height. Tap to drop the sliding block. It lands right where its shadow is. Put blocks next to others of the same material, and at six they melt into gold that runs down into the lowest gaps. The blocks stay in the tower as gold, so it keeps growing. A block with nothing under it falls off, and above 10 m that costs a heart. Making gold wins one back. Lose all three and the tower topples. You can save it with Nuggets, or let the top half fall and climb back up. It's the same tower every time you play. Also in the game: • Six golds start a Gold Rush. For five seconds every block you drop turns to gold, and tapping fast sets off a Frenzy. • Balloons carry Nuggets, hearts, bombs and presents. Drop a block through one to pop it. • More than a hundred block friends join as your tower climbs, and your blocks wear them. • Climb past real heights, from a house to Mount Everest and up to where jets fly. Each pays Nuggets the first time. • New pieces turn up as you climb, like a ball that rolls into gaps and a rainbow block that matches anything. • Your tower counts for your country and your state. The leaderboard stacks up every player's tower as it stands right now, so climb together, see whose skyline stands tallest, and see where your own tower ranks among everyone's. You earn Nuggets by making gold, and the shop sells more. It also sells Patron, which lets a toppled tower keep two thirds instead of half and doubles your daily gifts. Buying anything is optional, and nothing for sale is random. The game has no ads and no account. It sends anonymous stats about how you play, which you can turn off in Settings. The leaderboard gets only your tower's height and a random ID, and you can leave it in Settings. To see which of our own ads on Facebook and Instagram bring players in, it reports installs, two early milestones and purchases to Meta, and it asks before using your device's advertising identifier.
