Linebox is the 10×10 block puzzle, rebuilt from the ground up. Drag pieces onto the board. Fill a whole row or column and it clears. Plan ahead: when no piece fits and no Swap is left, the run is over. FOUR MODES • Classic: the original, endless. Bigger pieces arrive as your score grows. • Cascade: pieces drop to the bottom, blocks fall into gaps for chain clears, and new rows rise from below. • Puzzle: 120 solvable levels with a fixed board and a fixed set of pieces — decoy pieces, several gems and real planning from the first minutes. Clear every gem and earn up to 3 stars; stars open the next of six chapters. • Blitz: 90 seconds on the clock. Every line you clear adds time. MADE FOR GOOD MOVES • See where a piece lands and which lines will clear before you let go. • Combos multiply your points and earn back Swaps. • Stuck? Swap draws three new pieces. • Unlock five more tile palettes by clearing lines in any mode. ALSO • Plays offline, no account needed. • Leaderboards for every mode with Game Center. • Made for iPhone Duo: unfold mid-run and keep playing. Held sideways, the board sits on the left and the pieces fill the side column; Home, Settings, Levels and Stats use the whole inner screen. • On iPad the board grows to fill the screen. • English and Vietnamese. • Remove Ads: one-time purchase, restorable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Block Up Down at none against Linebox's shown. Block Up Down also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Linebox's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
