About this game

Most block puzzles drop pieces on you. Updraft doesn't.

You sit at the bottom of the well with a launcher. Line up the shot, tap, and send the piece up into the stack. Fill a row and it clears. Miss, and the stack you have to shoot through gets a little taller.

It plays with one thumb, in one hand, in the gaps of a day.

— HOW IT PLAYS —

TAP TO FIRE. The launcher sweeps side to side. Tap when the aim lines up. That's the whole control scheme.

PICK YOUR PIECE. Three pieces wait in the queue and you can switch between them — but one of the three has to go up before the next arrives. There is always a play; the question is which one costs you least.

TURN BEFORE YOU FIRE. Rotate the piece while it is still on the launcher. Once it's flying, it's gone.

HOLD THE LINE. A new row pushes in on a timer. Clearing rows pushes back. Everything you do is buying time on that bar.

BANK A SAVE. Clear enough rows and you earn a save — the one thing standing between a bad shot and the end of the run.

— WHY YOU'LL COME BACK —

DAILY CHALLENGE. The same board for everyone, every day. One shot at the score that counts, no adaptive difficulty, no excuses. Miss a day and your streak forgives you once.

TODAY'S GOALS. Three fresh goals every day, each worth XP.

LEVEL UP AND UNLOCK. Five colour palettes and five flight trails, earned by playing. None of them change the rules — a skin that made the game easier would stop being a skin.

SIXTEEN ACHIEVEMENTS. Permanent ones, for the long haul.

THREE BEST SCORES. Gold, silver and copper, on the front screen, with confetti when you knock one off the podium.

— FREE, WITH ADS —

Updraft is free. An occasional ad plays between runs, and you can choose to watch one to rescue a run. Updraft Pro is an optional purchase that removes all ads and unlocks every palette and trail straight away. Nothing you can buy makes the game easier.

— BUILT PROPERLY —

- Plays offline. No account, no sign-in.
- Your run survives a phone call. Close the app mid-game and it's waiting.
- High-contrast mode marks every piece with its own shape, not just colour.
- Six languages, chosen automatically from your device.
- Sound, music and vibration each have their own switch.
- No energy meters. No lives. No waiting to play.

Tap to fire. Clear rows. Hold the line.
Fire blocks upward, clear the rows, hold the line. One thumb, no waiting.
