About this game

Crack Attack is a gravity based match 3 block puzzle game with special chain and combo elements included for skillful players.
In Crack Attack, the player is presented with a play field consisting of a virtual grid of squares, each of which can be occupied by a colored block. Blocks are stacked on top of one another and rise steadily toward the top of the play field, with new blocks being added at the bottom. The player must arrange blocks in horizontal or vertical lines of three or more matching colors by swapping blocks horizontally two at a time. As matching lines are formed, the blocks are cleared from the screen and any blocks above them fall into the gaps. The game is over when the blocks touch the top of the play field, or another game-ending condition is met (such as reaching a time limit or clearing blocks below a set line).

Clearing more than three tiles in a single move scores a Combo, while Chains are scored when falling blocks from one clear cause another clear to occur. Both of these events score extra bonus points, and in multiplayer Versus games, these also send "garbage blocks" to the other player's play field.

Crack Attack provides several single-player modes.
Story Mode takes the player through the game's main plot, pitting the player against a series of foes in a head-to-head match. The objective is to cause the computer-controlled player to lose. In Endless Mode, the player is challenged to play as long as possible with a continuously rising stack of blocks, which increases in speed over time. Timed Mode challenges the player to score as many points as possible within a two-minute time limit, and Stage Clear mode takes the player through a series of stages in which the objective is to clear blocks below a set line. A Puzzle Mode is also provided, which presents the player with a number of puzzles where he or she must clear all of the blocks in a set number of moves (Blocks do not rise in this mode).

There are 2 VS modes (multiplayer) now. You can play with your friend if you are in the same local network(WIFI) or one creates the hot spot and the other joins. Of course you can also play with an AI if your friends are not nearby.

Enjoy!

Ratings and reviews

Not necessarily a bad game, the music and sounds are a bit jarring. Reminds me quite a bit of the Pokemon puzzle game for Gameboy color. It would be cool to change the Avatar, and the controls are a little slow. Good job so far, hopefully you guys are still working to refine it. I also noticed that there is no consistent name, it's called crack stack here, block attack on the file, and pixel attack in the game.

Edit Nov 6, 2018: while my dinky little phone is not the best to play this on (because of its horrible screen and touch inaccuracy, not anything having to do with this game), I can still tell that the devs have made the most accurate adaptation of Tetris Attack/Puzzle League. The addition of skill chains and puzzle mode are the clenchers. Upping review to 5 stars. Good job. Install now! Original review (for posterity): If I could actually move blocks into place underneath or near others while they're falling (to perform active combos), I'd be giving this five stars because that would make it the truest possible adaptation I've seen. Right now it's great, but it doesn't have anything to offer that other versions don't.

Great game, amazing rendition! I like it a lot, I will give you guys a 5 star review when I love it, and I could grow to Love it if it had 2 things, payment option to remove ads forever and secondly, add to the Lan option, a true online multi-player experience, just in case I'm stuck in a social distancing moment and my friends are not nearby. Fantastic game and designers, I would throw money at my screen as I mentioned above for those features. Then I will give you a 5 star perfection rate.
