TickstoneBeat the clock.
Before it turns to stone.
Tickstone is a block puzzle where every crystal you place is ticking. Clear lines in time, or it hardens into stone and clogs your board.
How it works
Easy to learn in ten seconds. Full guide
Drop the pieces
Drag three pieces onto the board and fill whole rows or columns to clear them.
Watch the timers
In Timer mode each piece has a countdown. When it hits zero, it turns to stone.
Break the stone
Use your hammer, pickaxe or dynamite to bring blocks back to life, and keep your multiplier climbing.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Is Tickstone free?
Yes. It is free to play and supported by optional rewarded ads, for example to earn an extra tool or a fresh set of pieces.
Can I play it right now?
Yes, there is a playable version in your browser on the Play online page. The mobile apps for iPhone and Android are coming soon.
Do I need an internet connection?
In the app you can play offline. An internet connection is only needed to show rewarded ads, and without one no reward is given.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts. Your best scores are stored on your device.
What happens when a piece turns to stone?
In Timer mode a piece that runs out of time hardens. Stone cannot be cleared in a line, so it blocks space until you break it with a tool. Read How to play for the details.
What is the difference between Timer and Color mode?
Timer mode has ticking countdowns. Color mode has no timers, but a line only clears when it is made of one single color.
How do rewarded ads work?
You can watch an optional ad to earn an extra tool or a new set of pieces when you are stuck. The number of ads per game is limited, and you can only request a tool you have run out of.
Which devices will it run on?
iPhone and Android phones, in portrait orientation. You can also play in a modern desktop or mobile browser.
