How to play Pineham Blocks, the block puzzle

Pineham Blocks is a block puzzle game. You drag pieces onto a grid, and every full row or column clears away. There is no timer, so you can stop and think before each move.

Step by step

  1. You get three pieces at a time. Drag each one onto the board wherever it fits.
  2. Pieces cannot be turned, so look at the shape before you place it.
  3. Fill a whole row or a whole column and it clears. One piece can clear several lines at once.
  4. Three new pieces come only after all three are placed.
  5. The game ends when none of your pieces fit anywhere.

Tips

  • Keep the middle of the board open. Big pieces need big spaces.
  • Clear a row and a column at the same time for more points, and clear on turns in a row for even more.
  • Park a piece you cannot use yet in the hold square by the tray.
  • Stuck? The lamp shows you a place where a piece fits. You get three hints on each board.
  • You can undo up to three moves, one at a time.
  • Clear the whole board to earn a big bonus.

Questions

What is the difference between daily and endless?

The daily board is the same for everybody, and you win it at 500 points. An endless run is your own, and it lasts until nothing fits.

What is Levels?

Levels is the Pineham Trail: 300 stops from the timber yard to the summit. Each stop has its own goal, like a score, lines to clear or ice to break. A stop opens when you finish the one before it, or four of the five before it.

Is there a time limit?

No. Take all the time you need for each move.

What happens when nothing fits?

The run is over. Start a new run and try for a higher score.

About this game

A calm block puzzle in a CGSF depot on Chi, at night. Drag the pieces onto the board, fill a row or a column to clear it, and keep going until nothing fits. There is no timer. Play endless for your best run, climb the trail of levels, or try the daily board that is the same for everyone.

Another change, and this one went wild towards the plant kingdom. This Chikin is always joyful and full of energy.

What changed

v1.0.0
  1. On a tall phone the tray fills the width, so the pieces are bigger.

  2. The game is drawn at your screen's own sharpness, so nothing looks blurred.

  3. On a tablet or a computer, your score and moves sit on steel tags under the board.

  4. The board now stands in a CGSF depot on Chi, and a cleared line splashes juice.

  5. The hall is painted in the same tiles and night as the board.

  6. The game now speaks every official EU language.
