Small pieces. Big possibilities. Make room for a little wonder with Block Puzzle, a relaxing hexagonal puzzle game. Bring colorful pieces together, find the right fit, and turn an empty board into a satisfying finished pattern. Whether you have a few quiet minutes or time for a longer puzzle session, every piece gives you something to think about. A SIMPLE IDEA, A THOUGHTFUL CHALLENGE Drag pieces from the tray onto the board, or tap a piece and then tap a board cell to place it. Keep each shape inside the board without overlapping other pieces. Fill every cell with all the pieces to complete the puzzle. Pieces have fixed directions, so there is no rotating or flipping: finding where each shape belongs is part of the fun. 30 LEVELS TO EXPLORE Begin with approachable puzzles and work toward larger boards. Complete a level to unlock the next step in your journey. Your best star result stays saved, so you can revisit completed levels and try a different approach whenever you like. A LITTLE CHALLENGE EVERY DAY Enjoy a daily puzzle based on your device's local date. Complete challenges on consecutive days to grow your streak and give yourself a small reason to return. You can replay today's puzzle, with each date counting toward your streak only once. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE There is no countdown and no move limit. Take time to study the edges, try a new arrangement, or pause and come back later. Your stars depend on the hints you use, rather than how quickly you finish or how many moves you make. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT Hints are free and can be used while a puzzle is in play. A hint keeps pieces that match the built-in solution, returns other pieces to the tray, and places one missing piece correctly. It can rearrange earlier placements to help you move forward. Undo lets you revisit a previous arrangement while the attempt is active, and restart gives you a fresh board. If none of the remaining pieces can fit anywhere, the attempt ends. Restart the puzzle to explore another path. Restarting keeps your saved best result, so you can start again. COLLECT YOUR STARS Finish without hints to earn three stars. Use one or two hints to earn two stars, or three or more to earn one star. There is no need to rush: take your time, learn how the shapes fit together, and aim for your own best result. CORE GAMEPLAY WORKS OFFLINE Play the core puzzles without an internet connection or a player account. Unfinished puzzles, level progress, daily results and recent completion records are saved on your device. Pick up a saved puzzle and continue fitting the pieces when you are ready. MAKE IT FEEL RIGHT FOR YOU Choose English, Chinese, or Follow system in Settings. Switch sound and haptic feedback on or off to suit your surroundings. Haptics are available on supported devices. A soft mint-and-cream palette and colorful pieces create a calm setting for each challenge. INCLUDED IN VERSION 1.0.0 - 30 levels that unlock in order - Daily puzzles and a locally saved streak - Drag-and-drop and tap-to-place controls - Free hints, undo during play, and restart - Best-star records and saves for unfinished puzzles - No countdown or move limit - English and Chinese language options - Optional sound and haptic feedback - No in-game advertising or in-app purchases ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS Saves are stored on this device, with no in-app cloud synchronization or transfer between devices. Resetting progress deletes local puzzle results and history while keeping your settings. Uninstalling the app may remove local saves. Daily puzzles follow your local device date; clock or time-zone changes can affect the challenge and streak. Core gameplay is available offline. Online information pages and installation attribution services use a network connection. Please read the Privacy policy for details about technical data and iOS tracking choices. Find a little space to think. Let every piece find its place.
