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 levels with a fixed board and a fixed set of pieces. Clear every gem and earn up to 3 stars. • 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 six tile palettes by clearing lines in any mode. ALSO • Plays offline, no account needed. • Leaderboards for every mode with Game Center. • On iPad and on the iPhone Duo inner screen, the board grows to fill the screen. • English and Vietnamese. • Remove Ads: one-time purchase, restorable.
