Android game filter: game with blocks and numbers...?

December 11, 2015 3:33 PM

The blocks are pushed up every so often. The blocks are all non-descriptively gray, except some of the ones on top are colorful and have numbers. At the top, it shows what the next block dropped will be, and you can click on the column to drop it on. Then, depending on some unknown (to me) rules, the blocks will disappear, sometimes multiple groups of blocks will disappear in a chain reaction. Sometimes this will cause some previously gray and unnumbered blocks to now be colorful and numbered.

Presumably, if the block reaches the top of the screen, the game is over. But I didn't watch her play the game for that long.

Someone next to me in a large meeting was playing it, and it looked fun. It looked like fun, and I would like to try it.

Best answer: Pretty sure you're looking for Drop7. It's a pretty fun game, though I prefer the browser version Chain Factor.

Best answer: Yes to drop7 and chain factor. It's a great and addictive game. A block will disappear when the number of blocks in the column or row = the number written on the block.

Have fun!

Response by poster: Thanks all! It's definitely Drop7. I've been playing it all weekend.
