Skwizzo Block Jam
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every block has its own exit. Getting it there is the hard part. Skwizzo Block Jam is a sliding block puzzle: drag a piece toward the edge and it leaves only through the exit of its own color. Something is always in the way. Move, clear, open the path, and do it before the clock runs out. 2,000 LEVELS You start with a few pieces and a single move; you end up on full grids where one wrong move closes the only way out. Every level has been solved by our solver and tuned on its real solution. Your best time stays on the map. THREE PATHS On first launch you choose how to play: the Explorer starts at level 1, the Strategist at level 300 and the Champion at level 500, where the real challenge begins. At 300 and 500 a short guided lesson shows you the first moves. 22 MECHANICS In the first thousand levels: one-way blocks, ice to melt, layers to peel, locks and keys, ropes to cut with scissors, time bombs, linked blocks, colored gates, gates to open and star exits. From level 1001, eleven more: pressure pads and posts, countdown exits, paint, vortexes, chameleon blocks, traffic-light exits, boulders, color combinations, fog, arrows and conveyor belts. The ? button reminds you of the rules of the level you're playing. ADVENTURE AND FOUR MODES - Adventure: all 2,000 levels in order, against the clock. - Perfect Move: no timer, but you must clear the level without going over the moves of the computer's solution. One move too many and the computer shows you how it's done. Double reward. Unlocks as you progress through Adventure. - Random: a surprise level drawn at random, without touching your Adventure progress. - Chaos: a run of 10 stages, up to 30 as you keep winning. Before each stage you pick a card, from a deck of 120, that changes the rules: a racing clock, darkness, fog, a board that shakes or turns upside down, frozen exits. The loot comes at the end. - Daily Board: a new board every day, the same for everyone, with a coin reward the first time you clear it. Past days stay playable in the archive. THEMED EVENTS The Events tab holds the game's seasonal parties. From October 28 to November 24 it's Pumpkin Night: collect pumpkins by winning in every mode, spend them on the prize path and take home the Pumpkin skin and two animated Halloween frames. REPLAYS AND A 3D BOARD Your best games become replays, in every mode: watch them like a video, with pause and speed controls, board turns included. They're recorded only if you turn them on, and they stay on your phone. With two fingers you rotate, tilt and zoom the board to see it from every side. FOUR POWER-UPS - Freeze: stops the clock for 10 seconds. - Gem: frees a block and gives it an exit's color. - Hammer: smashes the block you pick. - Magnet: clears every block of the chosen color. SKINS AND FRAMES Six 3D block skins, from Classic to Nebula, each with its own sounds, plus the Divine one, which you earn by playing. Every power-up has six skins and a seventh to win in Chaos. There are board frames too. In the shop you see everything in 3D before you choose. PROFILE AND LEADERBOARDS Pick a name, an avatar and a frame for your profile, and compare your records with the world and your friends: leaderboards for Adventure, Perfect Move, Chaos and the Daily Board. Plus twenty achievements to unlock. BANNERS AND REWARDS Every level you win in Perfect Move earns you a banner to collect: 2,000 in all, with reward chests along the way and a supreme banner for those who complete them all. Every day there's a reward to claim, and a surprise chest at the end of the week. ALSO INSIDE - Lives that refill on their own: the game waits for you. - Game Center and iCloud save: switch devices and keep your progress and purchases. - In nine languages. - No account required to play. Purchases are optional: coins, power-ups and bundles. Everything else unlocks as you play. No internet connection is needed to play. Now go clear the board.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Skwizzo Block Jam at every 3 days against 2048's every 9 days. 2048's advantage is chart position (#132 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
