HOSHI Block Puzzle: Cat Island

HOSHI Block is a relaxing 8×8 block puzzle where every few lines you clear, a cat or another cute animal friend moves onto tiny islands above the board. Play untimed, at your own pace: the only automatic ad is one small banner at the top, and a video plays only when you choose "One more chance".

Drag the three blocks below the board onto it and fill a full row or column to clear it. The more friends you welcome, the livelier your islands become.

■ How to play
• Drag any of the three blocks under the board to any spot that fits
• A completely filled row or column clears
• Blocks stay in the direction they come in, so think about where and in what order to place them
• Clear several lines at once for more points; keep clearing for a combo (clear again within three placements to keep it going)
• Empty the whole board for a +300 bonus
• The game ends when none of the three blocks fits. Once per game you can keep going with "One more chance" (watch a short video, or skip the video if you bought "Remove ads")

■ Cats and islands
• Keep clearing lines and new animal friends arrive
• Small 3D voxel islands float above the board
• As your friends grow in number, new islands unlock
• Swipe between islands and watch your friends live their day
