Frequently Asked Questions

Three block shapes appear in the tray at the bottom. Drag a piece onto the grid. Valid placements highlight; invalid ones show in red. When a piece lands, any complete row or column clears. New tray pieces appear after all three are placed. The run ends when no piece fits anywhere on the board.

• Classic Mode — Endless play. Shapes gradually get trickier as your score climbs. Chase your personal best.
• Adventure Mode — Hand-crafted levels with score targets, gem collection, move limits, and special starting boards. Unlock the next level by completing the current one.

No. BlocksBuster does not require registration, email, or a login. Your progress is saved on your device automatically.

BlocksBuster is designed for phones on iOS and Android. You can also play in a desktop or mobile web browser at app.alphatozed.com. The game is portrait-only.

The app interface is available in English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish. Your device language is used when supported; otherwise English is shown.

You earn points for every cell cleared. Clearing multiple lines at once, chaining combos within a few seconds, and matching colors in the blast zone can multiply your score. Classic Mode tracks your all-time best on this device.

• Row Blaster — Clears an entire row.
• Bomb — Clears a 3×3 area.
• Color Wipe — Removes every block of one color.

Tap a booster, then tap the grid to use it. You start with a small inventory; you can earn more through rewarded videos and occasional in-game drops after strong clears.

In Classic Mode, the game ends and your score is saved if it is a new best. In Adventure Mode, you can retry the level. On the game-over screen you may optionally watch a rewarded video to revive (clear bottom rows and continue) or get new tray pieces while keeping your board and score.

BlocksBuster is free to play. Ads help keep the game available without a purchase. After a short ad-free grace period when you first install, you may see optional banner ads. Rewarded videos are always optional — you choose when to watch them in exchange for boosters or a second chance.

For the first several minutes after you install the app, forced banner and interstitial ads are suppressed so you can learn the game. Rewarded videos remain available if you want them.

On iOS, Apple requires apps that may use the advertising identifier (IDFA) to show the App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you allow tracking, ad partners such as Google AdMob may show more relevant ads. If you decline, ads still work but are non-personalized. You can change this anytime under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

On the web version, a Remove Ads purchase may be available through Stripe when configured on the server. On mobile app stores, in-app purchases may be offered in a future update. Rewarded videos and optional ads are disabled after a successful Remove Ads purchase on the platform where you bought it.

Game progress (scores, levels, boosters, settings) is stored locally on your device and is not synced to AlphaToZed servers. Optional custom backgrounds use photos from your library and stay on your device. Third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob) may collect device and ad-interaction data to serve and measure ads. See our full Privacy Policy for details.

Only if you choose the custom background feature. The app requests photo-library permission so you can pick an image. We do not upload your photos to our servers.

The game is a casual puzzle suitable for a broad audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents should review ad settings and the Privacy Policy, and use device parental controls as needed.

Use the audio controls on the main menu or in-game to toggle sound effects and background music independently. Your choices are remembered on this device.

Open the background controls to switch between light, dark, or a custom photo from your library. You can restore the default background at any time.

Progress is stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing app data will reset scores, levels, and boosters. We cannot recover local saves from our servers because we do not store them.

• Check your internet connection.
• On iOS, confirm tracking permission if you want personalized ad fill.
• Restart the app and try again after a minute.
• Rewarded ads require a deliberate tap — they never play automatically.

If problems persist, contact us with your device model, OS version, and a short description of what you see.

Use the question form below, or email [email protected] with your platform (iOS, Android, or web), app version, and what you need help with. We aim to respond within a few business days.
