We're Back! What's new?
New Game Setup Screens - a total overhaul.
A new lobby system with revamped player config and game setup interface. Joining friends and setting up games is streamlined and easy to navigate
Empowered Special Moves - upsize combos with greater speed and precision.
Try it! Match the block you're holding, then Shove or Throw to set it ablaze! Pick your angle with precision aim and unleash a turbo-speed boost - empowered moves match more blocks at top speed over any distance!
New Control Style "Grip: ALIGN"
Position puzzle blocks with stability for easier stacking, or toggle "Grip: free" for classic freestyle flow. Switch freely between control styles any time.
New Story Mode World Map
Work In Progress - offers players a choice to advance the main storyline or explore optional puzzles off the critical path.
New Chain-lock Blocks replace Grumbles in Battle Mode.
in "AI Battle" or in Party Mix via the "Battle Mutator"; Rescues are replaced with new "Chain-lock Blocks" to reward both aggressive tactics in early rushes and perfectly-timed reversals.
Crossed-swords locked behind a colorless outer layer - these won't react to one-off color-matches. Instead, they chain-react to boost your attack multipliers. The higher your chain, the more devastating your attacks. Plan extended chain-reactions to unleash these special attacks at the right moment; turn the tables mid-battle and bury your opponents in garbage! Once popped, these blocks respawn to keep the pressure on, so early-rush is a valid tactic! ;)
New Mutated Challenges
some Daily and weekly Challenge levels are infused with random mutators to spice up time trials with unexpected twists!
New custom block visuals
Choose your own puzzle-block visual style: color-scheme, texture patterns and lighting can be changed separately to suit your preference.
