Stack & Smash
Drag blocks onto a board to fill rows and columns; when one clears, the blast sends a shockwave that can chain-clear an adjacent line.
Each turn, drag 3 blocks onto the grid; clearing any row or column detonates and pushes a shockwave that auto-clears the nearest adjacent line; combos multiply score.
One-thumb tap-and-drag to place each block.
