Bloqua

Play with one finger: gesture controls, a light and dark pastel redesign, hold, and a next-pieces preview. The same Bloqua, softer than ever.

Bloqua is a falling-blocks game reimagined for iPhone and iPad with a soft, modern pastel design and the relentless speed of the genre's classics. No ads, no subscriptions, no external accounts — just you, the blocks, and the chase for the perfect score.

ONE-FINGER CONTROLS

• Play right on the board: drag to move the piece as it follows your finger.
• Tap to rotate, drag down to lower the piece, and flick down to drop it instantly.
• Swipe up to hold a piece.
• With gestures, the board fills the whole screen — no buttons in the way.
• Prefer buttons? The classic D-Pad is still available in Settings, in righty or lefty mode.
• Hardware keyboard support on iPad: arrows, space, C, and P.

POLISHED, FAIR GAMEPLAY

• 7-bag piece dealing: you'll never get the same piece three times in a row, and no more endless waits for the one you need.
• Rotation with wall kicks: pieces "kick" off the wall or the stack so tight rotations no longer fail.
• Hold piece: stash a piece for the perfect moment.
• Next-3 preview so you can plan ahead.
• Lock delay: when a piece lands you get a short grace window to slide or turn it before it locks.
• Translucent ghost piece showing exactly where the piece will land.

CLASSIC SCORING AND LEVELS

• 7 classic pieces (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z).
• NES-style scoring: 40 / 100 / 300 / 1200 points × (level + 1).
• Soft drop and hard drop with a per-cell points bonus.
• 19 speed levels, from 0.800 s per cell down to 0.033 s at level 19+.
• Level rises every 10 cleared lines.

GAME MODES

• Marathon: classic endless.
• Sprint: 40 lines as fast as you can.
• Ultra: the highest score in 2:00.
• Zen: no Game Over, just relax.
• Daily Challenge with a unique seed each day and a streak to keep.

PASTEL DESIGN, LIGHT AND DARK

• A soft, harmonious palette — calibrated to be easy on the eyes — with a dedicated color for each piece.
• Rounded-corner blocks and rounded typography throughout the interface.
• Light theme (cream background) and dark theme; plus Neon, Minimalist, and Color Blind (high-contrast, color-blind-friendly) themes.
• Switch themes anytime from Settings.

SENSORY EXPERIENCE

• Haptic feedback with distinct patterns per event: movement, rotation, lock, hard drop, single line, four-line quad, and Game Over.
• Chiptune sound effects for every action.
• Audio respects whatever you're listening to on Spotify, Apple Music, or podcasts — it mixes in without cutting your music.
• Sound and haptics can be toggled independently.

HIGH SCORES, STATS, AND ACHIEVEMENTS

• Personal best saved automatically, with a "NEW BEST!" alert when you break it.
• Detailed game stats with charts.
• Achievements and leaderboards through Game Center.
• High-score reset available from Settings with a confirmation.

TOTAL PRIVACY

• All data lives exclusively on your device: high score, stats, settings, and preferences.
• Zero personal data collection.
• No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No cloud.

NATIVE iOS DESIGN

• Built with modern SwiftUI (@Observable, Swift 6, MainActor).
• Optimized Canvas for 60 fps even at the fastest levels.
• Adaptive layout for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape.
• Designed for one-handed play.

No distractions. No hidden payments. No compromises. Just blocks falling, lines clearing, and a record to break.
