Classic
Endless, for the high score. Every board clear brings the next look: cube, wood, crystal, jelly, metal, glass, brick, pixel and striped, then around again, each with its own way of blasting a line.
Clear the board.
Drag a piece onto the board, or tap it and then tap a square. Fill a row or a column and it blasts away.
The square piece fits the gap. Drop it and watch the board change its look, the way it does in the game.

Nine looks.
One for every board clear. Empty the board and every block, every slot and the frame flip to the next finish in one diagonal wave.
CubeLook 1 of 9. Cleared lines crumble into chips.
Chain clears, multiply.
A clear is worth 20 × (1 + 2 + … + lines): 20 for one line, 60 for two, 120 for three. Clear again within three moves and the chain multiplies it.
Two lines on a ×6 chain: 60 × 6 = 360 points. Clear the whole board for 300 more.

Fair questions.
Does it cost anything?
No. Blocks Ablaze will be free to download and play. Ads pay for it, and your first three games have none. Watching a short ad is how you get a second chance after the board fills.
Are the pieces ever impossible?
In Classic and Daily, every tray is dealt with a proven way to place all three pieces, clearing lines in between. Your own placements can still box you in; that part is up to you.
Does it get harder near my best?
No. The dealer never reads your best score. New shapes join as a round goes on, from 10 at the start to all 30 from 8,400 points.
Can I play offline?
Yes. Scores made offline wait on your phone, up to 20 of them, and go up to the leaderboard the next time you open the game.
Which phones does it run on?
iPhone and Android, held upright. Haptics have four strengths, from Off to Strong, and Android drives the vibration motor directly so a clear feels like a clear.
Is it kind to new players?
Your first three Classic games deal smaller pieces. Turn on Reduce Motion and the celebrations calm down to a glow.
