About this game

Slicebox gives you 54 spaces and a steady supply of numbered blocks. You can probably guess how that goes.

Drop blocks into a board made up of six 3x3 grids. Matching numbers merge when they touch, and one good chain reaction can clear room you thought you'd lost. Fill an entire 3x3 section and it compresses into a single block. There's a knack to keeping everything under control, although it doesn't take long to discover how easily one bad drop can ruin a perfectly good plan.

Fortunately, you brought a blade.

Swipe through a block to split it in half. One half moves in the direction of your cut, pushing whatever's in the way. You can use that to line up merges, make room for the next drop or rescue a board that's looking pretty hopeless. You can also make everything considerably worse, which is admittedly part of the fun.

You only have a few slices to work with. Good chain reactions and full grid compactions earn them back, so figuring out when to cut is just as important as knowing where to drop.

Special boxes join the mix. Some pull blocks together, others trigger merges across entire rows or columns, and the mystery boxes don't always have your best interests at heart.

There are two ways to play.

Endless is about seeing how far you can get. Keep your combos going, build up Overdrive for a few seconds of free slicing and unlock increasingly ridiculous abilities as your score grows. The numbers get bigger, the effects get stranger, and eventually things start happening that have very little to do with an ordinary puzzle game.

There's quite a bit hidden in Endless. Finding it is up to you.

Journey is a different kind of challenge. Each round gives you a target score and a limited number of moves. Every fourth round is a boss fight, and each boss has its own way of making your life difficult.

Queen Frosting freezes the bottom row of your board. Baron Von Bonbon limits you to just two slices. The Licorice Lich removes special boxes altogether. There are five bosses to encounter, and you'll have to rethink your approach depending on who's waiting for you.

Winning rounds earns XP and coins. Level up to unlock perks that carry into future runs, or spend your coins on different block skins, animated boards, slicing trails and effects. There's plenty to collect, from candy-colored themes to some much stranger designs.

Underneath all of that, it's still a puzzle about making the most of the space you've got. Some runs are relaxing. Others turn into a desperate attempt to save a board that should probably have been abandoned ten moves ago.

And every now and then, you find the exact slice that saves it.
