BLOCK 89 / GUIDES / GET THE APP

A brick game app that respects you

Most puzzle apps in the stores are a rectangle of gameplay wrapped in three rectangles of advertising. Block 89 takes the 1989 position instead: you get the whole game, it starts when you press a button, and nothing interrupts you. Ever.

What you download

• About 8 MB. Smaller than most single photos on your phone.
• Free, with no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no account.
• Fully offline. The game never needs the internet.
• Haptic feedback on every move, landing and line clear.
• Light and dark mode: the dark LCD is a minimal masterpiece, one tap away.

Where to get it

On iPhone or iPad: the App Store. On Android: Google Play. Not sure yet? Try it in the browser first; it is the same game.

Block 89 has been in the stores since 2012 and was rebuilt from the ground up in 2026. It is made by the same maker as Snake '97, the retro phone classic with over 40 million downloads.
