GENTLE BLOCKS — FACT SHEET

One line
The block puzzle that never rushes you and never interrupts you.

Short description
Gentle Blocks is a free, calm block puzzle for iPhone and iPad made for unhurried minds. Big, clear tiles. No timers, no pressure, and never an ad in the middle of a game. One gentle Daily Bloom puzzle each day, the same for everyone in the world, with a small garden that grows with your streak.

Who it is for
Adults 60 and over, people with low vision or tremor, and anyone tired of puzzle games that shout. Designed around the complaints people make about other block games: mid-game ads, tiny tiles, timers, and "watch this to continue" traps.
