FZ-Blocks · 9×9 block puzzle

Nine by nine, and the pieces are honest.

Drop pieces onto the board. Fill a row, a column or a 3×3 box and it clears. What lands in your tray is a roll of the dice — the game never looks at your board to choose it.

Four ways to be good at it

Best single game, everything added up, your average, and the best-paying single move you ever made — each ranked over a day, a week, a month, a year and all time.

You can watch the best move anyone has played

The board keeps the position, not a recording, so watching it re-runs the same rules on the same squares. The number under it cannot drift from what you see happen.

It works with no signal

Play on a plane or underground and nothing is lost — finished games wait on the phone and go up on their own when there is a connection again.

Coming to Google Play

The closed test is finished. A group of invited testers kept FZ-Blocks installed for the unbroken fortnight Google requires, and between them they produced ten releases in three weeks — six fixes came out of the first six hours alone, and most of what the game does now started as somebody's complaint.

Google has granted production access. The next release goes to the public store, and this page will carry the link the moment it does.

There is no direct download here any more. This page used to hand out an APK, from before the closed test began. It has been taken down on purpose: a sideloaded copy never hears about a new version, so anyone still on one is playing a game ten releases behind.

If you were one of the testers — thank you, and keep it installed for now. If you were not, there is nothing to do: when it is public it will be an ordinary Play Store install like any other.

The controls

Every gesture the game has, once each: turning and mirroring a piece, moving it between slots, saving one to the bank and taking it back, and undoing a move.
