A never-ending stream of short, wooden block puzzles. Each one starts with a half-filled board and a few goal gems. Place pieces, clear lines, boxes and columns, and collect every goal gem to win.
Small puzzles. Big thinking.
A puzzle takes a few minutes, and the next one is always ready.
// goals
Collect every gem, score, or link
Every coloured gem on the board is a goal, and each goal needs all gems of its kind. The counters above the board show what is left. Some puzzles ask for a target score instead, and some are linked levels: clear lines that hold the linked blocks, as many times as the counter says, and the blocks stay put until you are done.
// board
Rows, columns, boxes
Fill a full row, column or 3×3 box and it clears. Lines that overlap clear together, once.
// tray
Three pieces at a time
Drag a piece onto the board. A new set of three arrives when you have used all three. Now and then you are handed a concrete piece or a rolling block. The game ends only when none of the pieces left can be placed.
// levels
Four difficulties
Easy, Medium, Hard and Extra hard, each with its own mix of blocks and number of moves. Every gem and score puzzle has a solution. Each puzzle also gets its own subtle wood background.
// calendar
A month at a glance
The Home screen shows a calendar with your busiest day of each month, today's count, and a big button back to the puzzle.
// fanfare
Win in style
Finishing a puzzle plays a fanfare that is different for each difficulty, and names the level you completed.
// settings
Set your own mix
The Settings screen lets you choose how often each difficulty comes up, how often a piece comes gold, and whether the drop helper glows the blocks a move would clear. Extra hard never shows the helper.

What's on the board.
WoodPlain block. Counts toward a line and clears with it.
GemA goal. Five kinds, each with its own shape. Clear it to collect it.
Ice gemFrozen. The first clear cracks the ice, the second collects the gem.
StoneCounts toward a line but is never removed, unless a rolling block crushes it.
BombWhen its line clears, it also clears the 3×3 around it. Stones stay. No chain reactions.
Tough blockExtra hard only. An armoured plate that takes 3, 2, then 1 clears, changing colour as it weakens. Extra hard puzzles have at least five.
SliderExtra hard only. Swipe it along a row or column once. It stops at the edge or the next block and becomes plain wood.
Linked blockLinked levels only. Fills a line like a stone and never leaves. Each line you clear counts one for every linked block in it, and the goal (30 on Medium) counts down. Bombs and rollers leave them alone.
Gold pieceA tray piece you can turn. Tap it to rotate a quarter turn clockwise before you place it. It stays gold until it is on the board.Bomb pieceA single bomb that explodes the moment you drop it on any empty cell, clearing the 3×3 around it. Stones stay; tough and ice blocks only weaken.Concrete pieceA small piece made of stone blocks, about one in ten. It fills gaps in a line but stays on the board like a stone. Never on Extra hard.
Rolling blockA single block with an arrow. Drop it on an empty cell and it rolls to the edge in that direction, destroying everything in its path, stones included, then disappears. Gems it hits are collected.Score levels. Some puzzles have no gems: reach the target score instead. Every block you remove is worth 10 points, doubled if your previous move also removed blocks and tripled after that. The tray also brings diagonals, C shapes and plus shapes.
Play Extra hard to meet more. Extra hard puzzles unlock additional special blocks, the tough block and the slider, that you won't see on the other levels.
