If you’ve played block-fitting puzzles before, you know the feeling: one more shape, one more line, one more combo before the board fills up. We built Shapes Blast! around that loop, then gave it three board geometries so it doesn’t go stale.
Updated October 5, 2026 for version 1.1.2, which adds Game Center leaderboards and achievements, store sales and a welcome offer.
The core loop
Three pieces sit in a tray below the board. Drag each one into place; the tray refills once all three are down. Fill a complete line and it blasts clear. Clear lines on consecutive placements to build a combo.
The game ends when none of the pieces left in your tray fit anywhere. Before it does, you get a 10-second chance to revive by watching an optional ad (for a free bomb) or using a power-up you already have.
Every run takes a few minutes, which makes it a good fit for a commute or a coffee break. Unfinished games save automatically, one per board, so you can pick up later with Continue.
Three boards
Same rules, different geometry. Each board keeps its own high scores:
- Classic: an 8×8 square grid with 16 lines (rows and columns).
- Hexagon: a 61-cell honeycomb with 27 lines across three directions, from 5 to 9 cells long.
- Triangle: 64 triangular tiles with 21 lines, from 3 to 15 tiles long. Pieces must match the up or down orientation of the tiles.
Classic, Hexagon and Triangle: one scoring system, three geometries.
Scoring and combos
You score 1 point for every cell you place, plus 10 points for every cell you clear. Clearing several lines with one piece multiplies the clear: 3× for two lines, 6× for three and 10× for four or more. Each consecutive placement that clears a line adds another 0.5× on top. Our Shapes Blast! tips guide works through the numbers.
Power-ups
There are six, each with its own bank:
- Undo: take back your last placement, score and combo included.
- Rotate: long-press a tray piece to rotate or mirror it. One charge covers every turn of that piece.
- Bomb: blast a small area (3×3 on Classic).
- Refresh: swap the whole tray for new pieces.
- Delete: replace one tray piece, with a preview before you confirm.
- Clear Board: wipe every block.
New players get a welcome starter kit with some of each. After that, the daily bonus streak pays Undo, Rotate, Bomb and Refresh (never Delete or Clear Board), and Game Center achievements pay Undo and Bomb. You can also buy packs in the store or, if you haven’t bought Remove Ads, watch an optional ad for a free power-up every few hours.
Daily bonus streak
Claim a bonus once a day from the streak chip on the menu. Keep the streak going and the multiplier climbs: 2× from day 3, 3× from day 7, 5× from day 14 and 10× from day 30. A few holidays multiply the grant again. Miss a day and the streak starts over at day 1.
Game Center
Version 1.1 added three Game Center leaderboards, one per board, and 10 achievements, each with a small power-up reward. Your score is submitted when you beat your best on that board. Game Center is optional.
Free, no account
Shapes Blast! is free on iPhone with ads and optional in-app purchases. There’s no sign-up: scores, saves and power-up banks stay on your iPhone. Remove Ads ($2.99, one time) turns off banner and interstitial ads; in the current version it also hides the optional watch-an-ad offers.
