About Cracks - A Puzzle Game
The ground is breaking apart. Can you hold it together? Cracks is a match-3 puzzle game with a twist — the board is fracturing beneath every tile. Each turn, cracks spread across the surface. When a tile shatters, it's gone for good. Let too many tiles break and the board collapses. Your job: match tiles to reinforce the surface and survive. HOW IT WORKS • Swap adjacent tiles to make matches of 3 or more • Matched tiles reset their fracture level, strengthening the board • Unmatched tiles crack further each turn, eventually shattering into holes • Survive all your moves without the board collapsing SPECIAL MATCHES • Match 4 in a line — Line Reinforcer: repairs an entire row or column • Match 5 in a line — Restore Bomb: repairs a 3x3 area • Match an L or T shape — Stabilizer: freezes nearby tiles for 3 turns FEATURES • 100 levels across 10 worlds — from The Quarry to Eternity • Progressive difficulty with fracture rates, grace periods, and board sizes that evolve • Combo scoring with chain reactions • Hint system when you're stuck • Visual urgency — watch the board shift to red as collapse approaches • iCloud sync across devices • Game Center leaderboards • No ads. No pay-to-win. Every move matters. Every match counts. How long can you hold the cracks together?

Pack 4 is here: 550 new levels across 55 new worlds (levels 451-1000), in three difficulty arcs that each build to a harder finish. Two new tile types arrive with it: springs, which heal their neighbors, and charges, which crack theirs if you match on them. Each comes with a short first-time hint. Pack 4 is an optional in-app purchase.
