Kneadblocks is the classic sliding puzzle — with real soft-body material physics. Every tile is a deformable body. Push it against its neighbours and it gives; let go and it springs back. Seven materials, each with its own stiffness, sound and haptic: • Wood and Paper — quiet, classic • Liquid — fluid, wobbly, with a moving highlight • Stone and Metal — heavy, satisfying impact • Neon — springy, lively MODES • Free Play: 3×3 through 5×5 (Pro: up to 8×8), per-grid best times, swap material any time • Daily Challenge: one global puzzle a day, Game Center leaderboard and streak counter • Zen Mode: no timer, no counter — endless solving with calm feedback • Image Mode (Pro): your own photos become a puzzle — auto-cropped, with the material behaviour you pick NO B******T • No ads • No tracking • No third-party SDKs KNEADBLOCKS PRO (Family Sharing) • All premium materials (Liquid, Stone, Metal, Neon, seasonal skins) • Larger grids: 6×6, 7×7, 8×8 • Image Mode • Advanced statistics + JSON export • Seasonal updates iCloud syncs your settings and best times across iPhone and iPad.
