Block Jam 3D / Block Pals
Block Jam 3D & Block pals are puzzle games where you must collect colorful blockies in order to clear the board without filling up your tray. Gameplay is almost like a match-3, but with a finite board. The games also feature a collectible creature system that encourages players to progress into deeper levels.
