Why no timer?
Most block games either drop pieces on you or quietly count down. Here nothing moves until you move it. The game only ends when none of your three pieces fit, so every turn is a small puzzle you can solve at your own pace. That makes it a good game for a coffee break, a commute or winding down before bed.
How to play
- You get three pieces at a time. Drag one onto the board; it floats just above your finger and a soft preview shows where it will land.
- Fill a whole row or column and it clears with a shimmer. Lines that are about to clear light up before you let go.
- Clearing several lines at once scores far more, and clearing again within three pieces builds a combo multiplier.
- Place all three pieces to get a new set. Stuck? Each game has one free Revive and one free Swap.
Tips for a long, relaxed game
- Keep the middle open: the 3x3 square and the long 5-block pieces need space.
- Avoid single empty holes. Only the tiny one-block piece can fill them.
- Build two lines that finish together for a Double or a Triple.
- Faded pieces in the tray do not fit anywhere right now. Plan around them.
Easy on the eyes and ears
The blocks look like frosted sea glass on a driftwood board, with a Classic colors style if you prefer bright blocks. Light, Sepia and Dark themes are included, and soft ocean waves can play in the background or be switched off with one tap.
A hex sort with the same sea glass
Like this look but want a different puzzle? Glass Hexa is a calm hexa sort game. Drag a stack of sea glass onto an empty hex, matching colors slide together, and ten of one color clears. There is no timer, and each level has a score to reach. The first level takes about a minute.
Prefer to shoot? Glass Bubbles is a bubble shooter in the same sea glass. Aim, bounce, match three, and free the otters trapped in the stack. Level 1 is two colors and takes about a minute.
