Block Blast!
- Learn it in seconds, with real strategy in combos
- Plays offline, no Wi-Fi needed
- Short rounds fit any spare minute
- Ads interrupt the free version
- Weekly subscription pricing is steep
- Thin on depth beyond chasing scores
Block Blast! is the block puzzle that has dominated download charts, and it's easy to see why. You drag shapes onto an 8x8 grid, clear full rows and columns, and chase combos for a high score, with an Adventure mode and daily puzzles for variety. It works offline. The free version leans on ads, though, and Apple Arcade subscribers can get an ad-free edition instead.
