Game performance and stability have been further optimized for a smoother gameplay experience.
Block Blast!+ takes a very familiar puzzle formula and refines it with an incredibly satisfying layer of polish. Placing blocks onto the 8x8 grid feels tactile, and the visual feedback when you trigger a massive multi-line combo is undeniably dopamine-inducing. Because this is the '+' version on Apple Arcade, the complete lack of interstitial ads elevates the experience significantly above its free-to-play competitors.
The addition of the Adventure Mode and Daily Puzzles gives players a reason to log in beyond just chasing a high score. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel of grid-based block games, it executes the concept flawlessly. It's the perfect game to pull out while waiting for a train or sitting in a waiting room—easy to jump into, hard to put down.
Endless classic mode and structured daily puzzle challenges.
Satisfying visual block crush effects and relaxing audio.
Completely playable offline without WiFi.
Included with Apple Arcade—no ads, no microtransactions.
Analyze the three block shapes given to you at the bottom of the screen. Drag and drop them onto the 8x8 grid, ensuring you don't run out of usable space.
Fill a complete horizontal or vertical line to crush the blocks and score points. Clearing multiple lines simultaneously yields massive combo bonuses.
The true depth lies in planning ahead. By carefully arranging your blocks, you can set off chain reactions that clear the board instantly, keeping your streak alive and skyrocketing your high score.
No, part of the strategic challenge is fitting the blocks onto the grid exactly as they are presented to you.
So I like to say the first time I got it this is the best game ever like all of the Apple Arcade games but one problem I can’t change the background so could you make it where we can all change the background to photos? We have to just standard block blast backgrounds that would be so amazing but other than that this game is the best and I like I just love it so much.
Block Blast so far has been a lot of fun. It hits the same kind of dopamine hits from Tetris and organizing games, and without ads and such it’s really approachable. The only problem I have with it is that I’d love to play with sound on for the chill piano music and the casino style sound effects, but there’s a voice. A voice that only says “Amazing!” and “Good!” and you’ll hear it over and over and over again. I’d love to be able to turn the voice off, but it’s not an option so instead I have to play with the sound off entirely. :(
After Tetris, this is the best puzzle game ever made, my whole family loves it, we have friends who love it, I’ve seen other people playing it in public which has struck up funny conversation. Don’t be left out! Easy to learn but getting to a million points is such an incredible challenge! Gaming perfection!
It’s just so relaxing you can do whatever you want on Block blast what can you do without it? It’s just so relaxing. I’m still playing it. I’ve been playing it for 23 hours even yesterday and I don’t want this game to be deleted. I’ll keep it on my iPad forever.
I’m personally a big fan of most Apple Arcade games especially retro bowl+. But this is a new high, I’ve only had this game for a day and I’m already addicted. My best is 91,000, and being able to play for so long at a time with no adds just makes it better. Would 100% recommend.
I was waiting for a game like this to come to Apple Arcade so I can play without the ads! Block Blast was already addicting but as soon as I saw that there was an Apple Arcade version, I deleted the original from my phone and got this one. It’s fantastic! Thanks for making this app so Arcade subscribers can play without ads!
I'm glad we finally got a version of Block Blast without the annoying ads. The only issue is that it doesn't have all the other features the OG game has. Such as themes, custom backgrounds, and more game modes. Hopefully this will all be added in a later update
I’m willing to try about 10 times but then the level becomes unwinnable and I just quit playing. I enjoy this game, but there’s no way past an unwinnable level that I can see. You should be able to use points to cut number of moves needed, or to move on.
