Pairnic
Match. Merge. Clear the board.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now with Level of the Day and a worldwide leaderboard. Slide, drop, and merge across 100 levels, with a twist that keeps you thinking ahead.
Pairnic is a quiet, brain-teasing puzzle game about sliding blocks into
place. Every level is a small playfield of walls and colored
blocks. You slide blocks left and right — gravity does the rest, pulling
them down until they land on a wall, another block, or the floor. Get two
or more blocks of the same symbol touching, and they vanish. Clear every
block on the board to win the level, before your timer runs out.
The signature twist: some levels hide an odd number of a given symbol —
three lightning bolts, say, with no way to pair them off two at a time.
The only way to clear them is to engineer a moment where all three touch
at once. It's a small puzzle within the puzzle, and it's the heart of what
makes Pairnic click. Later stages add moving platforms that carry blocks
up, down, and sideways on their own schedule, so timing your slides against
their patrol becomes part of the solution too.
There's no combo timer to beat, no lives to lose, and no ads interrupting
your thinking. Pairnic is inspired by the classic block-matching puzzlers
of the arcade era, rebuilt from scratch with all-new art, sound, and 100
levels across 10 stages that escalate from gentle
introductions to genuinely tricky platform-and-timing puzzles. Every single
level has been verified solvable by an exhaustive solver before shipping —
if it's in the game, it can be cleared.
Play with simple drag controls, or switch to a tap-to-select cursor mode if
you'd rather not drag on glass. Full support for iPhone and iPad. Your
progress (stars, best scores, which stages you've unlocked) is saved to
your device and quietly synced across your other devices via iCloud — no
account to create, nothing to sign in to.
Finish all 100 levels and Campaigns opens up: free downloadable level
packs that add more puzzles in the same style, whenever new ones are
released — no purchase, no account, ever.
