Quarc: a falling block puzzle2.5 - App Store

QUARC is a twist on the classic falling block puzzle game with pieces built out of concave and convex curves, from circles to four-pointed stars. Match the curves so they fit together and filled rows will disappear. But when pieces collide or leave behind impossible holes, it's a recipe for disaster.

Using curves instead of straight lines drags the classic block puzzle genre into new territory where nothing looks familiar. No more stacking squares. In QUARC, you're reading the smooth contour of the surface you've already built, and finding the piece that belongs.

No ads, no subscriptions.

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
Classic: endless, and it steadily gets faster.
Zen: endless, and it never speeds up. The quiet, relaxing one. Stay as long as you like.
Sprint: clear sixteen rows as fast as you can. A pure race against the clock.
Survival: at first, every piece fits somewhere. As your score climbs, fewer and fewer fit anywhere. Survive.
Challenge: a brand-new pre-filled board every day to surprise and exasperate you. Each day's challenge uses the same board for everyone, worldwide.

ON THE BOARD
Golden pieces help you fill the gaps that ill-fitting curves leave behind.
Bombs let you blast a piece out of midair when it's the one shape you can't use.
A streak of ten perfect landings in a row gives you 20 seconds of slow motion, so you have a chance to breathe.

New ways to play
• Bombs — when a piece won't fit anywhere, use a bomb to blast it out of the air before it lands. The perfect escape from an impossible situation.
• Survival Mode — at first, every piece has a place. But as your score goes up, fewer and fewer pieces fit anywhere. How long can you last?

Built for everyone
