Block puzzle · iPhone and iPhone Duo
Drop pieces, clear lines, keep the combo alive. Every placement plays a note, every clear plays a chord, and your whole run becomes a little song you can share.
It plays itself · tap the pads to jam
Three ways to play
Daily Drop
One run a day, dropped for the whole world at once. See your place among everyone who played, with ties split by the faster time. Star targets to chase, a streak that freezes if life gets in the way, and a spoiler-free drop timeline to share.
Journey
Chapters with goals, a new obstacle every ten levels, HARD levels in the middle and a SUPER HARD boss at the end. Win in a row and your Hot Hand multiplies everything.
Endless
Chain three clears and the board catches fire: Fever doubles your bits until the combo breaks. One tap from losing to playing again.
Your run is a song
Every day gets its own song in its own key. It loops under your run, and every piece you drop plays a note from the chord underneath, so nothing clashes. Clears climb up that chord, and the longer your combo, the higher they go.
There are 100 songs, written by hand, across 18 styles: synthwave, lo-fi, house, bossa, funk, disco, reggae, chiptune and more. Play them on any of 58 instruments you collect, from lo-fi keys and glass bells to an 808, a theremin and a handpan.
Combos build the song
Each clear in a combo brings in another part of the band. Break the combo and it drops back to the chords, so you can hear how well you're doing.
Start
Chords
A soft bed of chords plays from the start of every run.
Combo 1
+ Bass
Your first clear brings in the bass line and a kick.
Combo 2
+ Drums
Clear again and the full beat and an arpeggio join.
Combo 3 · Fever
+ Melody
Hit Fever and the song's hook comes in on top.
Share it
When you finish, the song you share is the one you played: the backing track with every layer your combos earned, and your notes on top.
Tomorrow
After the daily, tap tomorrow's card to hear two bars of its song. It also shows the outline of tomorrow's first piece and a countdown to the next drop.
Your call
Turn Music off in Settings to keep only your drops and clears. Playing your own music? The backing track steps aside for it.
iPhone Duo
Block Beat is built for iPhone Duo. On the foldable iPhone's inner display, the board and your pieces sit on one side of the fold, so a drag never crosses it. The score screen, the song that's playing and Undo sit on the other.
Home, results and the Journey split the same way. Fold it shut and the outer display plays like any other iPhone.
Journey
A new obstacle arrives every chapter, then they start to mix. Every level is played by a bot before you see it, so every level can be won. Just not easily.
LEVEL 6
Survives one clear. Crack it, then clear it again.
LEVEL 13
Clear their line to collect them.
LEVEL 23
Blocked until a clear lands right next door.
LEVEL 33
Count down every drop. Clear them before zero.
LEVEL 43
Creeps into a new cell whenever you don't clear.
Meet Blip
Blip lives on the amber screen, cheers your wins, sulks when you lose, and blinks when it thinks you're not looking. Dress it up: one hat, one face, one fit. There are 64 outfits, and some only show up once a year.
Everything is bought with Bits, earned by playing: dailies, stars, lines, beating ghosts and keeping your streak. You can't buy Bits. At all.
Seasonal sets
Each season drops six limited items. Collect all six and a legendary outfit is yours, free. Then the set vaults until next year.
Challenge links
Share your run and your friend plays the exact same board against your ghost, drop by drop. Links work in every messaging app, scores are checked by replaying the moves, and nobody can fake one.
Beat them and you climb your weekly friends league. Real people only, no bots.

FAQ
Yes. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. Everything in the game is earned by playing.
At 07:00 UTC, the same moment worldwide: midnight in California (11pm in winter), 3am in New York, 8am in London. Everyone gets the same board and the same pieces, and you're ranked against everyone who played it: by score first, then by the faster time.
You earn a streak freeze every seven days (you can hold two), and they cover missed days automatically. Missed dailies can still be played later from the stamp album to fill it in. They just don't count toward your streak.
Yes, like other games. It also mixes with your own music, and you can turn sound off in Settings or with the speaker button in a game.
Yes. Settings has separate switches for Sound and Music. With Music off, the backing track goes quiet and your drops and clears still play. If you're already listening to your own music, the backing track steps aside for it on its own.
Yes. Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen, add a widget, and search for Block Beat. For the lock screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize, and add it there. It shows your streak and whether today's daily is done, and the bigger sizes count down to the next one.
No. Your progress is saved on your iPhone. Game Center is optional and only used for leaderboards and your friends league.
Yes, it's built for it. Unfold the Duo and every main screen splits into two panes, with the board and your pieces on one side of the fold and the score and the song on the other. Closed, it plays like any other iPhone. See Block Beat on iPhone Duo.
